Can a node be part of two outlines at the same time, like "symlink" in unix? #12

I'm thinking that the nodes can be transcluded into another document. but can a node be part of the outline of the second document?

Or this two desires the same thing?

True transclusion only works within the same crossline database. You can either embed an item from the same or another document, or create an alias of another item of the same or another document (see the Demo database for more information). If you try to embed a link from another database, a link is created with the present text of the item of the other database; but this is no true transclusion, i.e. if you update the item text in the other database, you have to manually update the link.
