Passing values between sections

I wish sections could pass values to each other and elements too!

1. We sell saunas. Allot of math formulas are based on the linear width x Length and square feet, e.g. 4x6=24, 5x7=35

With the current version, I can create a select box with one option "selected" and use this, but only between elements in the SAME GLOBAL or LOCAL form.

Other global forms can NOT get these values.
I have suggested using ACF plugin fields in another Feature Request Post. Maybe another method is perhaps adding LOCAL constants (within the product itself), but there are some advantages with ACF. I think it will lead to more web devs finding your plugin.

2. Additionally, it would be nice to pass values in element options too.
E.g. let's say the user selects 4 benches, 3 benches or 2 benches. Passing the total lineal feet in their option choice would be nice. 4 benches = 19.5 lineal feet, 3 benches = 15.5 LF, 2 benches = 14 LF. So passing 19.5, 15.5 or 14 to a math formula would be very nice.

Thx much
