Add functionality to read BCL components as a library #801

Enhancement Request

Currently components downloaded from the BCL are single, individual objects (with the necessary children). If the component file contains multiple objects (components, plural), intended to be used like a library file, downloading it from the BCL (via the App) creates an unusable object in the Library (tab on the right of the GUI).

Here are some examples of such multi object libraries:

Detailed Description

Possible Implementation

Is it possible for the App to recognize the "component" as a library of components instead of a single object? Maybe if the xml file has a tag as library? Then, the .osm file would be placed in the BCL folder as usual, but also added to the "Load Library" or "Change Default Libraries" list?
