LINKED character : be able to link several times the same file in a scen

I'd like to be able to link several times the same character (a group) in a scene and animate them seperatly with a proxy (small crowds, bird flock...)At the moment, the only technique I found is to clone the referenced file as many time as needed in the file explorer end import them one by one !

There is a way to do this, and I did it once but it was complicated. I think I added each shot to a node composition in different "scenes," and then added the scenes to the VSE

(think you meant to post that here? If so yes, that's the way you'd go about it) rightclickselect.com/p/sequencer/jcbbbc/nodes-editing-in-the-vse

Upvoted because it's a critical thing, but also something that's deeply linked to the current work/plans to essentially re-engineering what's call the dependency graph of blender. Currently, this deep infrastructure is what prevents things like this from working to my understanding, as it controls the flow of data of how libraries and so forth are treated.

yeah, and that solution is no good.
