Kicad hierarchical common sheet for multiple projects

How do I create a common hierarchical sheet for multiple projects?

For example, I want to build PCB1 and PCB2 that have a USB connector with related ESD components. I want to store this schematic in a libraries folder such as: /path/to/library/USB_ESD.sch

So PCB1 and PCB2 live in their own respective project folders that is different from the library folder.

The goal would be to update USB_ESD.sch in the library which in turn would update all relevant projects.

When I add a hierarchical sheet it allows me to enter a file name, but it appears that this file must live in the current project.

Thoughts?

Copy the whole file to the other project.
