Is there any way to link an object from another scene, but be able to work with its materials?

For example, I have a model of an airplane which our modeler made. I want to link the model to a new scene where I will setup lighting and shaders and then render. But if we want to make some modifications in geometry, we could go to the original scene and do it.

  • Is your question about linked files or color data on a multi-user mesh? – Mentalist Feb 17 '16 at 14:13
  • What is multi-user mesh?

    I have an object (model of an airplane) in model.blend. I want to link this object to the lighting.blend and be able to modify or create new materials for that object.

  • I want to have geometry in file A, materials and lighting in file B. If I want to change geometry, I go to A and change it. In B all changes will be relinked.

    Thats what I want

However I could use that only after pressing L > Selected objects. The object still will remain linked, but you'll be able to change material – Mr Zak Feb 17 '16 at 14:22
