Sketch Blocks

In Autodesk Inventor there is a handy feature called sketch blocks, whereby you can save a part or all of a sketch as a 'block' (AutoCAD style) and later insert it into the same or other sketches within the part you are modelling. This is very handy if you are making, say, a frame with steel sections as the blocks are very easy to locate orient whichever way you like, whist retaining the original section geometry. How would you go about doing this in Onshape? Is there a 'sketch block' method or anything similar?
