Any way to deduplicate module configs between monitors?

[rbutoi]

I have multi-output config for which the only differences between outputs is the choice of modules. The config of the modules is the same, but I'm currently forced to copy that, which adds some toil whenever I want to make a change:

[{
  "output": "laptop",
  "modules-left": [ ... ],
  "modules-right": [ ... ],
  "module1": { a config },
  "module2": { a config },
  ...
}, {
  "output": "external1",
  "modules-left": [ ...something else... ],
  "modules-right": [ ...something else... ],
  "module1": { the same config copied },
  "module2": { ...etc... },
  ...
}, {
  "output": "external2",
  ...
]

Is there a way around this?

I'm facing the same issue. As I can't find anything, I decided on having a tiny script and my own data structure cobbling together the final duplicated output.
