Layout - offer a "components" style function for LO groups, to edit multiple instances at once

In Layout — “Components” style function in Layout, please!! Similar to how components function in Sketchup, it would be a game-changer if subscribers could create editable-components in Layout, also. Like how Revit has this feature with families. Once a grouped “component” is placed several times throughout a sheet set, I want to be able to edit & update it to all those at once.

For Example: When I create an architectural Construction Documents set, sometimes I need a Legend or a Window Schedule to show up on multiple pages, often in different places on the sheet. And when I make a change to that window schedule table (for example), I want it to be reflected on all pages where I’ve placed it.

A workaround for this function can be by placing the schedule (for example) on its own Layer, and only turning that Layer on only on selected sheets. However that requires the schedule (for example) be located in the same location universally, which is not practical and huge risk of error. Especially when I have a 60-page sheet set, already with over 20 layers. Scrapbooks are useful for placing grouped object but once they’re placed from the Scrapbook, they become independent.
