Toggle button for 'make subresource unique'

[AndHalfAFish]

I often find myself copy/pasting an area node with child collisionshape within my scene because it requires less mouse clicks than adding 2 nodes for every hotspot I need. I often forget to make the collisionshape a 'unique resource' (because the option is hidden in a submenu) which results in me inadvertently changing the dimensions of a previously arranged hotspot.

It would be much more convenient to have a checkbox / toggle button : less clicks + easy to check at a glance if the option was enabled. I now have no way of knowing if the option was enabled, so I find myself clicking that option often ... just in case.

How would undoing Make Sub-Resources Unique work if no undo/redo history is available? I don't think the editor is able to know which subresources should be made shared again.

How about "paste" and "paste duplicating resources"?

@Calinou : Oh, I haven't considered the 'undo' option (I don't need that) - maybe toggle button wasn't a good visual representation.
I just wanted to say that I would prefer it if that option wasn't hidden, and if I could clearly see whether I have already made my resource unique.
I nearly always need my collisionshapes to be unique ... so, a bit of a hassle to use it as it is now.

@theraot : for me personally, that wouldn't be helpful. I would like it to be visually obvious that a resource is unique.

Since we're talking about resources and subresources here, it would be incredible to have an indicator of how many objects are using the resource.
Sometimes I am just not sure whether I should be making it unique or not, and a number indicator would be especially helpful when making something like a particle process resource unique, and forgetting about all of its sub resources.
Let me put together a quick mockup :)

This is already being tracked in #904 and #800.
