The idea is to be able to import a .level file into a .level file.
We can already do this in a way by copy/pasting from one file to the other. The advantages of a linked reference file is for easy editing. When you edit the "part" file, it will automatically change in the "whole" file.
If you are able to define an origin for the import, it can be easily placed on grid with the rest of your map.
There could also be a few options as to how you visualize the imported file, e.g. just the world geometry to make things quick, easy and smooth with huge files for complicated and detailed maps.
In general it would make things clearer as you can easily work on a part of your map without the rest acting as noise.
