I have a bunch of nodes which I want to duplicate, but I want to have them “linked” to the original nodes. So any changes made to the nodes will propogate accross all the copies of that node.
What is a good way to do this?
What is the proper way to duplicate nodes as instances/references.

As pezetko said, HDA is the way to do this. HDA stands for Houdini Digital Asset.
You right click your subnet and select “Create Digital Asset”.
You instance your Digital Asset multiple times in your network.
Then if you need to edit it, you right click any of them and select “Allow editing of contents”, then edit it, and then right click again and “Save node type”.
All instances will then be updated. In all files that use this Digital Asset.
