Is there a way to link duplicate objects or artboards so that you can manipulate multiple copies simultaneously?

Is there a way that I can link copies of an object so that I can manipulate one copy and the others will change also in real time?
Maybe with artboards? Wondering if there's a way to make a duplicate instance of an artboard that is 'linked' so it changes when I manipulate the original. Like you can do with files and comps in Aftereffects.
I have a really complicated set of paths that needs to be duplicated in multiple spots throughout a single composition. But I would like to be able to work on them AFTER they've already been placed, and I need each copy to be an exact match.
any help much appreciated. thanks

magnificent,
In addition to what imagecollection said, for some regular repeat patterns you may (also) use Effect>Distort&Transform>Transform with Move and Copies, possibly multiple times with possibly different copy numbers (such as twice for horizontal and vertical), symbol or no symbol.
