Description

I'm wondering if it's possible to reference an external gltf as an url in a gltf file.

My use case is the following:

In the context of LoD over network, it would make sense to have only the lowest resolution contained in the gltf, and then load the higher levels (from an external url) only when needed.

Research direction

The issue names no repository file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the glTF specification and any existing LoD or external-resource mechanisms, then determine the scope and expected behavior for externally referenced higher-resolution assets. Done would require an agreed specification change and corresponding implementation or documentation, but neither is identified here.
