Use Scene Materials when importing a FBX file (or other formats)
Have a checkbox in the FBX Importer dialog that allows for using scene materials of the same name.
When updating an FBX file you always have to re-link all of them otherwise and cleanup the newly created duplicates.
Papercuts... :)
Thanks!

Not only for FBX files... today it's the same problem when appending a Blender file.
Yes, please. Or at least an option in the importer to maintain actual workflow.
There is actually an addon that has this function integrated ;) blendermarket.com/products/designer-tools-cad-fbx-importer
In fact there should be a way to do this for any kind of material I.E. when importing new animation assets, no need to re-import the armature + mesh + materials + textures.
