Templates were a very welcome addition. But I’d love to see this some day too.
It’s not an original idea, this is how Cinema4D does it.
So every single component would get this little crown (or what ever icon) next to the title.
Clicking reveals a popover as image →
Here the user can choose to add a preset, which saves the components current state (of every possible setting in the component).
Hitting “set as default” places a little crown next to the currently selected preset, and now every time that component is added to a page, settings are that of the default.
I think this concept would carry over from Cinema to Elements really really well.
