Thanks Justin.

I do want the latter, so cloneComponent() it is. Bit embarrassed that I
didn't find that myself - sorry.

How much of it do you need to clone, or do you want the same object but
with different attributes?

If you want the former, just place it under a SharedGroup and use Link
nodes. If you want the latter, use the cloneComponent() method to create
a new copy.
