The question is whether Inkscape currently supports use-between-documents, in a fashion that would allow linking to your digital_symbols.svg. If not, you could probably look at how the markers.svg is hooked in, and come up with a general purpose mechanism for symbols.
No, use-across-documents is not needed, nor would it be feasible (the document would be unportable). Instead we have a function called get_stock_item which takes a stock_id and returns an instance of the corresponding object; if it does not yet exists in the current doc it will be imported from the library. This is used for markers now and will also be used for libraries of patterns, symbols, etc.
