expression as an animation preset. I have over 200 expressions in my

Presets panel to add the expression to multiple layers.

I do like the idea of putting an expression in a text layer and then
using Dan's expression to point to it. This would make editing values not tied to an expression control easier for multiple uses of the same
expression. In fact, I liked it so much it's now one of my effects
presets.
