Linked variation and waitlist for variable products.

Currently, sites built with other platforms such as Shopify allow you to link variable products, allowing you to not have to create a different product for each combination of attributes in your store, that is, if you have a product with a different color and 4 different sizes, you would have to create 8 products (color 1, size 1, color 1 size 2... etc). But if you could link variable products, you only have to create the product by color and their respective sizes, reducing the number of products to only 2 and therefore allowing your store not to be overwhelmed with "same" products and the user to more easily find what they are looking for.
