A Jazz SCM analogue to VSS Shared Files?

In Visual SourceSafe you can share files between different projects (folders). For instance, you could have the file copyright.txt in multiple folders in your source tree, but all instances of that file can be linked to one another in VSS, so that delivering a change to the file in any location updates the file in all locations.

Putting aside whether or not this is a good feature for an SCM system, is there some functionality in Jazz SCM that would allow me to do something like this? I'm looking for away to migrate my code into Jazz SCM with minimal disruption and refactoring.

No, Jazz SCM does not support this currently.
I've created workitem 58190 so we can discuss this.

Cheers,
