Exporting linked duplicates creates multiple elements with the same id

[Deleted user]

Using Duplicate Linked (Alt D) to create multiple instances of the same mesh results in multiple <model> elements with the same id (the name of the mesh the object is linked to).

Reproduce:

• Duplicate an existing object using the Duplicate Linked (Alt D) command in Blender
• Export

Confirmed. Exporter is using the (possible shared) name of the data block.

I'd suggest to omit ids for the <model> element because they just point to possibly shared assets (there is no 1:1 mapping to a single blender entity).

Opinions?

Since the parent <group> already has the objects (unique) Blender name as its id, I agree with your opinion.
Selecting the <model> directly could still be done using #groupId > model or similar.
