Hotlink from BIMcloud project file

Maybe this should be a wishlist item... but it seems if I am hotlinking from project file A into project file B on a bimcloud, I should be able to select a specific view that I want to link in. 
One surprising addition to the design options is the ability to establish a design option set in the hotlink... but there has never been a layer combo/model view option/graphic override/etc. available for hotlinks.
So when I hotlink a model from a building file into a site file, the roof layer is not visible... theres a ton of back and forth and remove module, recreate soruce file, relink module... it should be as simple as "place holtlink > from bimcloud project > select view from project"

...

if anyone has a trick to get this to work better, I'm all ears.

The roof lay is not visible? Are you sure that is not just because your host file does not contain enough storeys? And the settings are the same whether you are hotlinking to or from a BIMCloud project or not as far as I can tell...

 

Regarding Graphic Overrides, there is a lack of an Import and Override option which makes keeping related models consistent troublesome...
