Integrate PVL with Style variables to allow users to both create and design without touching code

[kakoga]

Will this solve a problem?
Yes - this would allow a user to create a layout and design without ever touching the code. with PVL and the blueprints that we currently offer a user will likely still want to spruce up their site with means that they will have to touch the Web IDE -> Styles. Not all users will know how to do this. Hooking up the PVL to the style vars removes a barrier to completing a site.

Proposal:

Allow user to select an existing style var to style a module in the PVL.

If a user wants, they can create a new variable which leads to them: selecting a category (or creating a new one), selecting the field type (color picker, text field, toggle, dropdown ).

Through PVL classes will be created accordingly and added to an auto-created stylesheet with references to styles vars.

@kakoga I like the idea of this, but it pushes the layout tool to be more like a wix/weebly or dreamweaver like solution, which is not the intention. We want to keep the tool error free. That said, anything can happen in the future.

Let's keep the issue open, and keep discussing incorporating some customization as it evolves.

@ardeay Yeah - that makes sense - I hear you 👍

sounds good! I'm exciting to discuss this & its possibilities more :)
