Controlling subdivision surface of linked object

[spec24]

Is there way to control the level of subdivision of a linked object in Blender without having to go to the original file and change it?

Edit Linked Library addon http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Object/Edit_Linked_Library

Or make a proxy object (spacebar / search for proxy)

Thanks Richard.
