Victoria, yes there is a way to do this in the Create Nulls from Paths panel, but it's rather cumbersome. you'd create a mask, then use Points Follow Nulls, then parent the created Nulls to a master PSR control null. It's a very clever method, but very limiting. you can't alter the vertex points of the mask at all after that. The curve of a bezier can't be altered, and that's an absolute necessity for Roto.
I think the OP is asking for and Felix elaborated on is a container for masks like the one for shape layers except easier to deal with. Adding in transform, scale, rotation, and Grouping to masks as are in Shape layers would be a good solution.

totally agree that there needs to be a way to do this. I'd like a toggle on a parameter to view the absolute values of a property so I can copy paste absolute values as well as link to them.

Update: this issue seems to be isolated to masks. moving the points or paths results in the comp window not updating. MacOS 10.13.6. AE 16.1.1 Build 4

I've had this bug for a couple versions. it's Mocha. Somehow, Mocha is keeping AE from dumping the cache and redrawing the frame when a change is made. I've had this bug surface in renders as well. My work-around is to do all of my Mocha work on a Guide layer and then copy paste the needed masks/tracking data to other layers in my comp. I never use the plug in to create a matte.
