To imitate the legacy option of "affect different element" in Webflow's IX 2.0 when creating a button that toggles a show/hide state of another div, you can follow these steps:

Select the button element that you want to trigger the show/hide functionality.
Go to the Interactions panel by clicking on the lightning bolt icon in the right-hand panel.
Click on the "+" button next to "While page is scrolling" to create a new interaction.
Choose the desired trigger for the interaction. In this case, select "Click" to activate the show/hide functionality when the button is clicked.
Once the interaction is created, you will see the "Start" and "End" states on the left-hand side of the panel. The "Start" state represents the initial state of the element, and the "End" state represents the state you want to toggle (show or hide) when the button is clicked.
Select the element that you want to show or hide in the "End" state. In this case, it will be the div element you mentioned.
In the "End" state options, you can click on the eye icon next to the element you selected. This will reveal the visibility options for that element.
To imitate the legacy option of "affect different element," you can choose to show or hide the selected element by toggling the visibility option. If the element is currently hidden, select "Show" to make it visible. If the element is visible, select "Hide" to make it hidden.
You can preview the interaction by clicking the "Preview" button at the top of the Interactions panel. This will allow you to test the show/hide functionality of the button, toggling the state of the div element.

By following these steps, you can imitate the legacy option of "affect different element" in Webflow's IX 2.0 when creating a button that toggles a show/hide state of another div.
