Attribute rules equivalent to Attribute assistant "Link Table"

I am continuing my journey of migrating from ArcMap Attribute Assistant to the new ArcGIS Pro Attribute Rules. The old attribute assistant had the option to "Link Table Asset" which "updates a field in the table or layer with a value from a selected feature." I found this useful for transferring attributes from an existing feature to a new feature. For example: I would select a street and then create a new point feature for an address. The Assistant would grab the street pre-direction, name, type, post direction, and full name fields and calculate the new address point's fields with the same information, so I only had to manually enter the number and I was done.

RoadCenterLine|PRE_DIR,STR_NAME,STR_TYPE,POST_DIR,STNAME

I was wondering if the Attribute Rules (and Arcade language) has something similar? I have been able to use the Arcade intersect() to pick up and calculate features under my new point. I am aware of the "Transfer Attributes" tool when editing, and that does work, but it is more manual and more steps. I liked the "automatic" transfer the Assistant gave me. Anybody have some suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Did you work out a solution to this? We are looking to migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro and I have a number of datasets using AA rules that run on creation of a feature similar to described above (highway limit polygons created over a road centreline dataset). Thanks.

I'm also very interested in finding out more about this. Very similar to above, when creating new points I need certain fields to auto-populate with the value of other features that the point is located on. For example, I need a newly created address point to populate the Parcel ID field with the Parcel ID of our parcel fabric layer.
