Duplicates should be editable and replaced with <use>

[madsenfr]

Motivation

When I duplicate a shape several times, and then want to change this shape everywhere, I would rather edit code and change duplicate by using tag <use href="#myId" .../>.

See details here : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Element/use

Current behavior

<use/> is deleted after editing code.

Desired behavior

<use/> should be kept in the code and interpreted.

Alternatives considered

No alternative found, except by duplicating shapes which become independant shapes.

Your suggestion makes sense but it need to be an additional behavior as some users will likely ask to keep the current behavior.
We would need a PR on V7 to get this enhancement.
