Is it possible to copy a component as "paste new" but copy new adjustments from the parent?

I want to design an item which I modify to multiple variants.

    So I crated a component "base" and copied into a component "variant a" with "paste" instead of "paste new". That meant though that changes I made in "variant a" were also applied to "base". But I don't want that bi-directional behavior. I want to be able to make changes to the base item while I already created variants.

    Is it possible that only changes on the parent (base)  are applied to the child (variant a)?  

 

 

Here a simplified exmaple. If you check the attached file that the "base" component doesnt look like it should.

 

This is my base item

Then you have to Paste New.

 

Might help....
