Multiple instances of a shape within a sketch?

I have an edge detail that I want to place at several locations around the perimeter of a non-circular part. I can use a linear sketch pattern to place this detail in multiple places along one edge of the part, but is there a way to replicate that shape along other edges without having to draw and dimension the detail geometry along each edge?

@john_wolter you can select and group of lines and RMB copy then paste. This will take the constraints as well as lines but is not an instance (block).

I have found a solution that works in some cases. If the detail is to be positioned at the same location on opposite sides of the part, then a sketch mirror can be used to mirror the detail across the mid-line of the part. I am still hoping for a more general solution.
