Can you have a single layer visually projected in multiple spots in the same document?

I am currently trying to have a layer that is displayed more than once (essentially in different layers) but is just a single layer that is universally edited. Similar to how you can create a new window and see it edited and update in real time, or the painting symmetry feature. Instead, of course, I'm looking to see if there is a way in the same document to have a layer have multiple of itself edited identically and in tandem. Imagine you drew a bug, and you want, say, 3 bugs in whatever piece your making, all identical. And you can place them where you want, and you edit one bug and the other 2 change with it. I don't think this is possible from what I've seen, but I was just wondering. Equally a solution where you have paint symmetry that simple doesn't invert the image but created an exact duplicate that edits in real time is also helpful. Hopefully I was able to articulate what it is I am looking to do. If this doesn't exist, I do hope in the near future it can, as duplicating windows and symmetry drawing is already a thing, so this doesn't seem like a huge stretch.
