Commons files in copied courses

Is there any way to create a course that includes a commons page or two, and then export or copy that course to a second course, and maintain the link to the commons file in the second course (so that both courses can now be updated)?

Usage case - create a template that has some commons pages (eg editing guide, wellbeing info) that we want to be able to edit in a single location, and some normal pages, and then use that course as a template to create a whole load of other courses.

At the moment it seems that when you move course content from one course to another, either via an .imscc export file, or using the copy file function, then the link to commons is broken and the shared pages just become normal pages and therefore no longer update-able.
