How to reference parts across documents

Sorry I'm new to onshape so this is probably a stupid question.
So I'm designing some electronics enclosures that are difference sizes. Let's say I have 3, "Small," "Medium", and "Large" Nearly all of the the sub-systems in the enclosure are the same for all sizes. So I completed the entire design of "Large Enclosure." It has a Parts Studio for the enclosure case, and then several other Part Studios for each sub-system.
So I'm ready to start on "Medium Enclosure" but I don't want to just copy the sub-systems from "Large Enclosure." I know I can copy/paste the Part's Studio but that would require any changes to the sub-systems to be made in each document.
What I'm looking to do is that whenever I upgrade or change a subsystem, the updated version is in every document that uses that sub-system.
Is this currently possible?
