Description
Hi,
I saw that SPIRV have a Linkage capability and can import and export functions or global variables.
SPIRV-Tools also has an experimental linker to combine spirv files.
So is it possible to compile a module with the lib_6_3 target profile that exports some functions, and import those in a separate file?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the SPIR-V Linkage capability and the experimental SPIRV-Tools linker mentioned in the issue. Determine whether a module built with the lib_6_3 target profile can export functions or global variables for import by a separate file, and record the supported workflow or limitations.
