In a macro, you can still reference by a node's name. Fusion will auto-update expressions that are pointed to tools inside the macro to match the new names when you make a copy, the same as it does if you copy-paste tools that are expression-linked.
Just don't call your input node "Input." I learned the hard way that node names that match the input or output names of tools (and almost every node has an input called "Input") will break (thanks again, Pieter, for pointing out my mistake!) Fusion think's you're asking for properties of the node's own Input instead of properties of a node named "Input". I usually use the macro's name followed by "_in". So "MyMacro_in" and "MyMacro_effectMask", and so on.
