Test Step.
Said another way...I want to write a set of test steps that are common in several to many tests and write them just once in a common test so changes can done be in one place so I don't have to open up each and every test and update each instance.
So I am asking if there is a way to link so I can create once from common steps in one test to another test (can be used in many tests)...trying to also avoid having to set up what I want to do in a test set....because if common steps are in one test, in a test set I think I would have to specify that common test to run before each tests (could be many)....that's effort too.
If I could have a link to do this, I create that relationship once with each test. Does this functionality exist?
Unfortunately, currently, you cannot do this. But, we have a feature request to enhance the Fast Edit option for Test Steps. With this option you'll be able to update multiple Test Steps at once.

Approximately when will the Fast Edit be put in? Our buying decision is weighing on this.
This task has a high priority, but, unfortunately, I cannot provide you with any time-frames yet.
You can reach out to your account manager in order to receive a demonstration call as well as ask for an update on the feature.

To piggy-back on the original question - is there a way to "call" another test within the test set you are in, to execute that other test, then jump back into your starting test to continue. This scenario would be used for when Test 2 test steps are needed across many Tests, but I only want to maintain the test steps in one place (reducing duplicated editing when changes are made):
e.g. Test 1 is started
test steps 1 - 3 are manually executed
test step 4 calls Test 2
Test 2 test steps 1 - 4 are manually executed
Test 2 is complete
system jumps back to Test 1
test steps 4 - 6 are manually executed
Test 1 is complete
