I have many items in my collection, that are nearly the same, often sharing datasheet etc.

One example are "MBF 12,16,20", only some measurements are different.
Another exampel are "WAGO 273-100" etc that you can vary in "two dimensions": grey, black or transparent and 2-5 "ports".

My Idea of implementation would be that you can create a part with a special flag "template" that normally doesn't get shown.
The real parts can be seen as implementations of this template, all values not set directly in this part are taken (as in linked, not copied!) from the template.
