Multiple diagram editor using the same semantic model and the same representation

Question

Hi Obeo,
At the moment, If I want to open many editors to view representation of a semantic model, I can create many representations and open them in editors. The problem is that if a new representation is create, the file .aird size is increased.
Is there any way to open many editors for 1 representation instance? (the style of node/edge between editors may be different, and the editor titles are also different)
Thanks

No, that's not possible. If the the style of node/edge are different,
then they are different diagram instances (which may reference the same
domain model, but are otherwise independent), with the storage overhead
this implies (both in disk and memory).
Note that you can extract some specific diagrams (or representations in
general) into separate (referenced) aird, see
https://www.eclipse.org/sirius/doc/user/general/Modeling%20Project.html#ReprManagement.
This would keep the size of the main aird file constant (or almost, it
would gain a link to the referenced aird).
May I ask why the aird size increase is an issue in your case?
