Mind that this will only work as expected if all the timelines are copied at the same time.
With the example above, If you copy all four timelines at the same time and then paste them, you will get what you are expecting.
If you try to copy and paste them one at a time, though, the result will be the same as it is now. There is no good way to determine an existing instance in a different project is the right one for a timeline pasted from a different project.
Asides from that I noticed that hierarchies where not preserved when pasting timelines, so that was fixed as well.
Problem description
If copy multiple Timelines with different but the same instance, a separate instance will be created for each Timeline when pasted.
Thinking about this logically, it definitely works as expected, as it ensures that Timeline will work when pasted into a new project, without the lack of examples preventing it from running. But from a user experience perspective, this is unreasonable. because it doesn't take this use case into account. This will add a lot of unnecessary work.
This may be a vague issue. If necessary can close it and then submit suggestions for it.

Steps to reproduce
Observed result
Expected result
It can be smarter to tell if it's the same Object Types. Or add an option to ask if want to create it as a separate instance.
More details
If looking at a light project, this may not matter. But once there is a more complex animation, the number of repeated instances will increase the work several times. For example, this Template if copy 4 timelines here, will appear 4 groups of mechas.
