If I understand your request, you would like family to operate the same way as an inventor part. The parts can be edited independently from the assembly and automatically updated in any assembly where a given part is used.

I will use a window family as an example on why I think this is a bad idea.  For arguments sake you include the sill details in the window family it will work for 1 project only. If you use that window family in another project that has different specifications and update it accordingly it then updates in the first project too creating errors for specifications required by the first project. Therefore I don't think it is a good idea to have external referenced family. I think it is better they are nested within the project is they currently are, so a change to the window family will not affect all projects where that window is used.
