- Yes: The key word is "reference" as in "cross reference". You can
- establish "paratext" cross references between files, and "update" them
- to ensure that the latest changes have been tracked. It's not quite
- automatic, but it does allow sharing of text. The text can even be presented
- in different format than in the original.
