Modules should have a way to reference prefs from other modules.

For instance, in Module1:

pref1 = Prefs.Integer(...);
pref2 = Prefs.Double(...);

In Module2:

pref1_ref = Prefs.Reference('Module1', 'pref1');
pref2_ref = Prefs.Reference('Module1', 'pref2');

Where the prefs and UI in Module2 behave and update exactly as the prefs and UI in Module1

I would be worried about it breaking down the "modularity" of the module. Doing so might cause unexpected consequences that are hard to predict. Also, there is no guarantee that the other module is loaded.

Although, I could see this potentially being handy for a module that loads another module and stores that handle as a property. This behavior can also be accomplished using a listener though - which is how I would implement that pref in the first place. Would that accomplish what you're looking for?

I mainly want to have the relevant submodule pref UI immediately displayed in the module. Right now, you have to click settings. Maybe we can choose which ones display outside settings below the module pref selection?
