    Global components are coming as part of Component Libraries. and once released they will be accessible via the form view as well as the code view. To start learning more about Component Libraries check out the documentation here. https://meta.stoplight.io/docs/platform/sovfvcspumw1d-component-libraries

Hey I am looking into this one fore you. I can tell you, for your second question, cross-file references are allowed but they are not a good practice. I will let you know when I have some additional info on your first question.

    Thank you ! I can see why it's not a good practice, but in my case A.json and B.json refer to different web-apps, with B web-app (public) acting as a transparent proxy for select APIs of A web-app (private). So being able to reference in B.json params/responses/models of A.json would really help.
