Doh', this wouldn't be a complete solution, either. If the user opens a
model, I'd still have to determine which external references in it are parts
and which are embedded models/subassemblies. And if the user opens a part,
I'll have to determine which external references in it are sub-parts and
which are primitives.
I wonder how the other packages resolve this issue.
