Ok, with that you can share shematics, but that is only the first half
of a solution.

But what if I wanted to share part of the pcb design also?

Can I make the common parts into a "compound component", sharing it
(together with its "footprint") like any other component between
projects?

Looking into [1] tells me NO, since "conponent" is valid in schematic
files only. Wich leads me to: Is there an easy way to take the
schematic file for the common parts and to "flatting" it so there is
no "C" (component) in it so I can use it like a lib file?
