Comment (by westonruter):

 Instead of `data-customize-setting-property-link` I think it would be
 better if the existing `data-customize-setting-link` supported
 multidimensional paths. For example, let's say a control is associated
 with a setting which represents a `WP_Post` object with a setting ID. Then
 a textarea control could be added with the field element having `data-
 customize-setting-link="default[post_content]"` to link it to the property
 of the `default` setting, which here would be something like
 `post[page][123]`. This is better over the existing implementation in
 Customize Posts for `data-customize-setting-property-link` in that it will
 continue to allow us to associate a control with multiple settings, as
 opposed to introducing a limitation whereby only one setting's properties
 can be synced with.
