You'd need to add this manually in a text editor, or put it in the
frontmatter template (which is written to all files) using the Files
preference pane. We only provide editing for @string macros.

Technically or practically? In practice it should work the same as
iTunes/iPhoto sharing, so it's limited to your LAN subnet.

This is a fairly frequent request. Unfortunately, Christiaan and I do
not have access to Mathscinet, which makes development and testing
well-nigh impossible. We need an enterprising mathematician to come
on board and provide a patch, or some other developer to step up.
