Mattia, how are you? I'm showing my ignorance here in NetCDF-4 matters, but
let me try to rephrase your question in HDF5 terms. Are you asking if an HDF5 dataset (~ NetCDF variable) can be multiply linked from the same or different HDF5 groups? Yes, that's fairly simple. Just create another soft or hard link referencing that dataset. BTW, this works not only for datasets, but also for groups and committed datatypes. I do not know to what extent NetCDF-4 exposes that functionality. Best, G.

If not, does anybody know if there is any technical issue (within the NetCDF-4 standard) by using the HDF5 library to create them? Thank you! Best Regards Mattia
