This would basically be equivalent to option 2) [here](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/python-component-in-multiple-gh-files-how-to-keep-updated/174263/5) right (i.e. overwriting the GHPython component `Code` property)? If that’s not possible with the new Rhino 8 script editor, that sounds like another regression from GHPython (ping @eirannejad).
