      Hello! We use Xref to almost everything now that it actually works. It's great!

      However, I would like to xref a model, but have the materials be referenced from another file.
      The materials have exactly the same name in a "master material scene", a scene only containing materials.

      I've tried to do it via USD but cinema does not seem to recognize the overrides/layering inside a USD.

      Is there a way to override my materials that is not destructive, or is it something that can be implemented?

      Thanks
      /Jesper
