  Is there a way to link the leading of one type layer to another one?

  There’s no stopwatch buttons for attributes like font size, leading, kerning, etc.
  Is there a way to link this properties with expressions?

  No, those attributes can’t be controlled by expressions.

  I’m feeling a bit nervous arguing against Dan Ebberts, but couldn’t you add an Animator for tracking or line spacing and then use the “Tracking Amount” or the “Line Spacing” stopwatches for linking expressions….

  I don’t think there is an animator for “Font size” per se, though you can animate Scale via an animator….

  Those are good workarounds. I had forgotten about the line space animator.
