Description

I have links in my Revit project. If I export manually with "Export linked files as separate IFCs" checkbox enabled I got several IFC files in the output.
But if I use `IFCExportConfiguration` class from IFCExportUIOverride.dll to update my `IFCExportOptions` and set `ExportLinkedFiles` bool value to true I still got only one IFC file without links.

Research direction

Start with IFCExportConfiguration and IFCExportOptions in IFCExportUIOverride.dll, then reproduce the export using a Revit project containing linked files. Compare the behavior with the manual "Export linked files as separate IFCs" option and verify that setting ExportLinkedFiles to true produces separate IFC output files.
