importing blender file into another project

hey guys

sorry if this is a silly and basic question but was thinking about it the other day and if its possible or not.

say I have modelled a rope lasso for eg, with physics then a couple weeks later I built a medieval castle and thought hey id like to use that rope I made, would I have to redo it all again in my new project or is there any way to import it please?

I know if I save as OBJ or FBX etc then wouldn’t that just be the actual model with no physics attached or is there a way I can save the file with properties etc

sorry for the noob question but not come across this situation yet and would be great from some info, thank you
