[Inkscape-user] inter-file cloning?

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to do something similar to the clone feature, but between files.

I have several Inkscape files that all share a common "symbol" -- it's a pretty complex symbol, and I'd like changes I make to it to show up in all of the files. This is very similar to the problem that Edit->Clone solves, except that in my case it "spans" multiple files.

Is there any way to accomplish this?

Thanks!
