Is it possible to refer attributes and tables in other document?

Thanks for the reply Mallika. This feature really would help and I can give you plenty of use cases for it!  
Other users would like this too (see this post, [Share tables over 2 documents](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/share-tables-over-2-documents/938))

If you implemented this solution, it would also temporarily solve another feature request:

- The ability to have more fine tuned permission control. (see [Granular Permissions](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/granular-permissions/169))

This has been a longstanding issue with airtable. It will seriously hold coda back. Implement a central table library and reap the rewards! 🧙

Here’s a workaround that you may use, if you still need it

As an example, I’m building a freelancer’s task tracker where I’m logging tasks for different clients, and those changes are then synced to every client’s individual dashboard doc. This multi-doc setup is a workaround for the fact that Coda doesn’t have granular permissions yet. It allows to make s…
