I don't see this being implemented (maybe it will with "project" module), but why won't you use scenes ? It's pretty much the same but datablocks linked

Why aren't you able to work in multiple scenes then? They can be linked or separate completely, whatever you want.

I use it like this. I have a file for working with studio lighting; I do the final rendering in it. The object I'm rendering is very complex and intricate, consisting of hundreds of parts and materials. When I render, I usually make a dozen more changes to the material, model, or something else. Previously, I would simply append, and then I'd end up with two versions of the model—one with changes and one without.

So I split the approach into two files: the model with materials in one file, and the lighting and rendering in another. If I need to make changes to the material or model, I open the file with the model. It works like a repository, like a single, original copy. It's convenient. The only inconvenience is having to switch files every time.

So, such a feature would be very useful for me.
