A ProxyNode based psedo plugin would be the way to go. Its a very specialist plugin though, I'm not sure how widely it'd be used.

I think that there's still some role to play for a
plugin like the one I wrote. The plugin is a
pseudoloader, which adds a osg::ProxyNode-like object
above a subgraph loaded from the specified model file.
This allows one to add external reference support to
any OSG editor (or other scene-generation tool)
without modifying the editor at all.
Take osgedit for example. osgedit doesn't allow you
to add osg::ProxyNodes to the scene. However, with a
pseudoloader like the one I wrote, you could work
around this by appending .extref to the end of the
file name when adding a model to the scene
(File->Add).
So what do you think? Should I rework the
pseudoloader plugin to use osg::ProxyNode? Or is the
idea not worth pursuing?
