<p>But should the information simply be copied out of the other .qgs project</p>

<p>I hear this has been implemented in the new "importproject" plugin in the contributed repo.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>or should it be linked to somehow (so that changes in the linked project are reflected in the project linking to it)?</p>

<p>I hear this has been implemented in trunk now.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #3016: Add feature: File>Open project as grouphttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/3016?journal_id=250612011-06-20T20:02:28ZAlister Hood

<p>Yes: in trunk "Layer>Embed layers and groups" lets you select layers and groups from another .qgs file to link to.</p>
<p>At least at the moment you can't change the symbology of linked layers, and if you link a group you can't change the order of the layers in the group (but you could link the layers in the group, rather than the group itself, which would enable you to change the order).</p>
<p>You can toggle the visibility as usual, and can also remove layers from a linked group.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #3016: Add feature: File>Open project as grouphttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/3016?journal_id=250652011-06-20T22:50:21ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com
<ul></ul><p>see also the "importproject" plugin, it will allow you to <strong>import</strong> layers from other projects. Unlike the core features this layers are copied into the new project, so you can change them as you want.</p>
