Stencil tool does not work on instanced meshes in viewport

I am unable to paint a mask using a stencil (any stencil for that matter) on a duplicated mesh in Substance Painter. For example, I have a single fbx model that has been duped in Maya in several configurations, all in the 0-1 space so I can paint on any of the duplicates which is vital for our workflow. Think of for example a character in different poses all next to each other. This setup breaks the stencil tool where it will only project on a single mesh instance. It would be very helpful if the stencil tool would work on any of the meshes I have in my painter scene.
