Save as and replace functionality for selected components

[alex.balako]

[Moving to IdeaStation] I have assemblies which have 20+ parts sourced from the same model. If I want to tweak that part, but only for one assembly, I may apply "Save as and replace" function.  But I will end up with 20 new designs, which I need to tweak. It is easy enough to identify that multiple selected components are sourced from the same external design, so adding Save and replace menu item to the selected components if all of them reference the same design should not be a big deal.

I have the assembly of the printer, which takes about 8 hours to create from scratch.

Parts in red (joint brackets) are repeated 20 times.

If I would want to modify the design of that part from the assembly either by using Save and Replace or Break a link I would need to make the same change to 20 designs. If Save and replace would be available for selected parts I would need to make 1 change.
