How come you cannot colour adjust/blur symbols instances?

Suggest an idea

For bitmaps you can add effects like blur and colour adjustments (brightness? Contrast), but you cannot do this to Symbol instances?

Is there any reason you cannot do this for symbols? You theoretically can for blurs with a crazy method, so it is plausible, right?

  • if you make a shape, add the blurs to that shape
  • then make the shape fill/stroke invisible
  • Cmd + option copy that shape (copy effect)
  • Cmd+option + paste the blur effect to the instance

But there isn’t any actual way to do it directly in the interface?
