Hi @ipazin,

exactly, this would be for sharing purposes. I had actually used a `knime://knime.node/../.data` URL in the JSON Reader node already (and put the geojson file there), but on copying or sharing/re-using the component that data folder does not seem to be copied. There is a ticket being mentioned for that in [Shared component with external file](https://forum.knime.com/t/shared-component-with-external-file/23866/7) if I am not mistaken. Or am I still doing something wrong?

Thank, Matt
