    erik... it is possible. I've done it a few times for a few different jobs. It's not as instant as it should be, a few steps involved but it saves a lot of work. it's been a while since I've done it but what I remember is that you open the source smart object, then save-as to a new folder (called smart objects or whatever) then in each document you wish to change simply highlight the smart object, (don't open it, just highlight) and then go to LAYER --> SMART OBJECTS --> REPLACE CONTENTS, then choose the source smart object. If any work is required over time on that source object, you just do it once and then repeat these steps to update thru out. shit will get wacky if you change canvas or image sizes tho so be careful.
