[Suggestion] More reference types

Hello! Want to suggest you some more customization in order to fit wider amount of usage scenarios.

It will be very useful to be able to use not only element's width or height as reference types but also min and preferred values of this element. It's more convenient to use with texts and images, elements which have their own layout sources.

Project won't build with package added by dependencies

If I'm installing package by adding it to the dependencies in manifest.json it works in editor but I can't build it to Android device. Getting a bunch of errors during build:

Then I've decided to pull whole example project and tried to build it on android so it runs perfectly. Then I've tried to remove all package dependencies in my original project, moved package from example project (it's inside Packages folder instead of Assets) and replaced all active scripts' path and project building properly now.
