Summary: I would like to be able to have loadable families read info from the same (shared) parameter in a loadable family they are hosted to.

Description: I would like to be able to have loadable families read info from the same (shared) parameter in a loadable family they are hosted to. For example, we have a number of items that mount to pipes. The pipe may be different diameters in different projects, and the families are set up to adjust. Currently you have to go to each instance of the hosted object and change the value in "Pipe Diameter_OD". It would be nice if it would read the value in "Pipe Diameter_OD" in the pipe it is hosted to and automatically update the value.
