It is not possible to create components directly in Unity3D hierarchy interface and then change its type.
Only a few set of components are handled. See graph edition
It is only possible to set Data value, not to link them between components inside Unity3D.
Building Unity App will copy all SofaUnity scenes and resources. Not only the targeted one.
