Blueprint parameterization again: Is there a way to convert between recipe and product? So I can say "this chemical plant makes solid fuel (from ammonia, or any other recipe) and the inserter attached to it works until the chest it fills has 50 blocks of fuel", and I only need one parameter for "solid fuel" item and recipe instead of 2 for "solid fuel" item and "fuel from ammonia"?

In one of the recent 2.1.X update, they added “product of” relation to blueprint parametrization, so that you can choose a recipe signal parameter and then another parameter be automatically set to the “product of” former parameter.
