Fetching partial DOP network contents into another dopnet?

Hi,


I was wondering if it's possible to do this, something like an equivalent of an Object Merge SOP but in dops.

My practical use case would be to fetch a dopnet branch (static collision objects) into another dopnet, so I could share the set up collisions without copy/pasting an entire dopnet branch. Ideally I could set up all my static collisions in a separate dopnet and reference that in all my other dopnets.

I managed to pull off something similar by using a File DOP in the source dopnet (writing all my colliders into a .sim file) then load the same .sim file in a different dop network with another File DOP (and collisions actually worked).

I'm looking for the same thing, but without having to write anything to disk.

Cheers
