Yeah!  You can just add comp("Comp Name") in the beginning like this:

comp("Comp 1").layer("Solid 1").transform.opacity

Or, if you split your timeline panels so you can see each comp's timeline
at the same time, you can just pickwhip directly to the layer's opacity in
the other comp and you don't even need to type it.
