Re-using assets across projects WITHOUT import/export. Is it possible??

I find re-using assets across projects is quite a pain through the export/import methodology. It's not a quick process. If i do one export then import into a new project, I'll likely later on want another tool i made for a previous project in the new one making me have to do another export and import. It would be great if assets are just created in a "community" folder and meta data stored elsewhere. This way i can just go grab what i need when i need it quickly. Is there a way to do this?

 

Around this time you can make your own local folder and reference package with local file schema
