I would like to suggest adding a Clone feature similar to the one available in CorelDRAW.
This feature would allow designers to create linked copies of an object anywhere in a document, including across multiple artboards. Editing the original object—such as changing its color, shape, or appearance—would automatically update all linked copies while preserving their individual positions.
It would also be extremely useful to allow existing duplicated objects to be linked retroactively, without having to replace them with Symbols.
Although Illustrator offers Symbols, a direct Clone workflow would be faster and more intuitive for complex, multi-artboard design projects.
I believe this addition would significantly improve Illustrator's efficiency and usability.
