That actually works already! Target definitions are _additive_ so parent target properties are automatically inherited.

```js
// base_controller.js
import { Controller } from "stimulus"

export default class extends Controller {
  static targets = ["alpha", "beta"]
}

```

```js
// child_controller.js
import BaseController from "./base_controller"

export default class extends BaseController {
  static targets = ["gamma"]

  connect() {
    console.log(this.alphaTarget, this.betaTarget, this.gammaTarget) // 👍
  }
}

```
