⭐ Suggestion

Capturing meta-vars in utilities can be extremely valuable but currently this is only possible with local utilities, which prevents them from being reusable.

💻 Use Cases

Match a non-trivial construct and capture a piece that is deeply nested in it in a metavariable for use in the fix.

I'm very glad I found this issue, I don't see it mentioned anywhere in the docs

I didn't expect users will use ast-grep this far 😆 so I didn't mention too much about util rules.

I will update the doc if more users have similar questions.
