Linked Keyframes

When duplicating keyframes in the dopesheet (Greasepencil or otherwise) it'd be nice to be able to check a 'linked' option similar to how it works when duplicating objects.

When editing a keyframe all 'linked' keyframes will get the same changes.

Or in other words, i'd like the ability to create multiple instances of the same keyframe. Illustration.png

Since keys are not objects that contain data, how would you visually show the link between keys to the user?

I imagined linked frames to have a different color, and selecting one keyframe will highlight all linked ones in the dopesheet

Keyframes can already have different colors and even shapes. How do you avoid confusion with the current available schemes?

You could also make it a Chainlink symbol, I feel like that would be identifiable enough

How exactly it's displayed visually isnt that important is it?

I'd argue it's important to make this as less confusing as possible.
