Link pose assets from file

When linking a .blend file via File -> Link, it would be great to be able to link all the pose assets that are stored in the file (in the asset shelf).

As I understand, currently one has to save the poses into a pose library, which is more cumbersome if all you want it to use poses from a linked blend file.

You can add that blend file in your Asset Browser path. Say you make your characters hand and face poses in the rig file. You should add you rigs directory in the Asset Library path. Whenever you link your character Rig, the poses will be available. Not sure if that addresses your issue.

Isn't that basically what the Asset Browser does for you?
When you create the pose assets, it is marked as an Asset Library in your file. If you want to access pose assets from an external file, all you have to do is either have that file stored in your default asset library path, or add it to your asset libraries:

Then all you have to do is either keep using the asset browser to access the poses:

Or set your pose library to use the library containing your poses:
