The Problem: Each project has the same Test Suite called "Tools". Because we clone this folder in to other projects, this causes the contents of each Tools folder to be slightly different across each...
I am going to attach two screen shots to clarify what we would ideally like to standardize/centralize.
We have multiple projects. Each of these projects contains some version of a Test Suite called "Tools":
These tools are functions which are used to either generate or retrieve data to be used in SOAP requests. Above, you can see the Test Suite "Tools", and one example of a function "Get_Address_From_Province".
In the following screen shot, you can see the function "Get_Address_From_Province" instantiated as a Test Step :
 
It is possible to make reference to this function as a test step because both Test Suites belong to the same Project.
What we would like to be able to do is use the same set of Tools that belong to another project from the one which is being worked on. (This is due to the fact that we are multiple developers, so working on the same project could potentially create conflict issues, hence the necessity for multiple projects.)
