That is something that needs to be looked at. 
In my use cases it is very common for several projects to use

the same recorded tracks, and that could be a few gigabytes.

When using non-destructive editing these are de facto read-only,

so they can be shared.
An app can always cheat the SM. Even if the SM forbids symbolic

links in a session directory, all it takes for an app is saving

a directory path as part of the current configuration.
But it would be better if the SM were aware of the existence

of such data, so that it could e.g. show of list of it upon

request. This would then require apps to explicitly declare

paths to external data. It would probably be a rather simple

extension to NSM.

A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.

It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris

and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)
