[REQUEST] Access inherited UI elements from child UserWidget

Does anyone know if there is a way to use this workaround with Animations of Widgets? I can use this workaround with the other widget design elements as outlined by MajinSephiroth, but I can’t seem to do it with Animations because UE4 won’t allow me to set the Animation references of parent widgets to anything.

Or has a better solution come up since the last post on this thread?
