Research direction

Start with the linked rules documentation page and check how rules are currently described and whether they can reference properties of other widgets. If supported, document the syntax and add concrete examples; if not, clarify that limitation. Done means the page answers whether and how to use another widget's properties as rule inputs and includes useful examples.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This may already be possible, but if it is, it is not documented in https://control-system-studio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/app/display/editor/doc/rules.html.

Generally I think giving more concrete rules examples would be useful on that page.
