How to duplicate a linked file?

I thought “Duplicate Link” is what I’m looking for, but if I use duplicate link, the new poly will not have a link icon on it.
Is there any other wayt to duplicate a linked file?

You can put that object inside a collection and add that to your scene via Shift+A > Collection Instance . Then you can copy that instance as usual.

Oh I see, thank you.
So in blender, I can only duplicate a link item when its in collection, but I can’t duplicate it directly, is that right?

Yes, as far as I know.

Thank you very much!!
