Link Conan packages over local repositories

Is there some way to link Conan packages over local repositories like Bintray (conan-center) ?

I read Manipulating Artifacts but I just found Copy and Move features.

Regards.

Artifactory does not support linking artifacts between repositories.
As you mentioned, you can copy artifacts between repositories. Keep in mind that this is a "cheap copy" - since Artifactory is using a checksum based storage, the bytes are not duplicated and instead Artifactory just creates another pointer in the database.
Another option for having the same artifact in multiple repositories is using virtual repositories (will be supported in the future for Conan). You can keep the artifact in a local repository and include this local repository in multiple virtual repositories. This will result with being able to access the same artifact from multiple virtual repositories.
