Assembly: doesn't allow a Link with multiple Element count

Is there an existing issue for this?

Problem description

Integrated Assembly WB already allows the link of mirrored parts with the Scale = -1 feature. Very useful.

On the other hand looks like it is not possible to multiply a linked part using the link feature "Element count" (number different of zero). The Joint Coordinate System (JCS) don't attach to the multiplied part. Same behaviour if you multiply the linked part before or after dragging into the Assembly container.

I think it would be nice to have this feature because working with links is fast and powerful.

On the other hand, is pretty easy to have multiple copies of a component with the Insert component tool of the Integrated assembly WB.

Looking forward to hear opinions about this.
