In-Context Reference Loss

Hi There,
A well known problem in many CAD systems is to loose reference edges when geometry changes (e.g. due adding a chamfer to an edge).
To make referencing more stable I use to reference construction planes and coordinate systems instead of model geometry.
However I did not find a way to access the construction planes of a part in a "in-context" assembly/model of onshape.
I also created mate connectors at the reference points, but I could not access these in the "in-context" edit neither.
How can I do that?
