Not strictly related to molecule but I got the use case with it

Currently in the LaunchedEffect we need to operate over flows in the "normal" way, with collect or any chain.

LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
    events.collect { event ->
        when (event) {
            ...
        }
    }
}

Should be great if I could remove the box there as we do with states

LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
    val event by events.collectAsEvent()
    when (event) {
        ...
    }
}

I might be misunderstanding your question, but it seems that your events flow is transient. I don't know why you'd want to collect events as state which is sticky.

I don't want to collect them as State, I want to be able to have the same syntax but for event (collectAsEvent )

Something so is what I mean

// events is `Flow<Event>`

LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
    val eventEffect: Effect<Event> = events.collectAsEffect()
    val event: Event by events.collectAsEffect()
    when (event) {
        ...
    }
}
