I'll ask the obvious - is it layers?

Two objects (from different hotlinks), same layer, one of them are missing. I select one hotlink I can see that the object should be there but disappears as soon as I escape the selection.

I would guess: Renovation Filters.

Each View in your project (even schedules) stores Renovation Filter setting — Existing/Demolish/New.

Example: if your current model view is set to "Existing", but a few objects in your imported module are set to "New Construction" — those objects will disappear with, seemingly, no warning (as they really should with current, at times unintended, view's renovation filter settings).

This sounds odd, as objects missing due to renovation filter issues will not show up within a module upon selection.
