Now that I see that you meant something other than @url, I can say that I've always been dubious of such approaches. The problem is that it spreads responsibility for text to at least one-too-many places. My analogy is this. No organization would tolerate having two managers be responsible for any particular piece of code. There must always be one person with ultimate responsibility. One person in charge. Many other teams might use that piece of code, but chaos would ensue if multiple teams were changing the same bit of code simultaneously. bzr doesn't invalidate the analogy. There is only one trunk. Similarly, having two or more .leo files "point to" a shared node invites the same kind of chaos. That's the way I see things, at any rate.
