Can 1 InCopy file link to, 2 InDesign documents?

I'm trying to simplify a workflow. We are writing 2 versions of a text block, a long and a short version. I want to do the writing in InCopy in a single file so its all in one place for the writers. There are different designers working on the layouts for the long version and the short version so I would like their to be 2 InDesign files. Is there a way to have a single InCopy file feed to 2 indesign documents? There would never be a need for a long text block to be in the short indesign doc and vice versa. Thanks!

You can link an ICML file to as many InDesign files as you want. So, you'll need to show us a bit more perhaps with screenshot of what you're trying to do.
