Is there a way in Blender to link only one material from another object? For example, if I have Object1 with materials A and B, and Object2 with materials C and D, what if I want to add A to Object2, but not B, and also retain C and D? Link Materials operation seems to just replace all materials slots with those from Object1, while Copy Material creates a copy and not a link.
