Sometimes such minor features take special pain in the ass to support this in editor.
It takes a hack in txd streamer which is afaik tied directly to IPL loader
and then another one in the model renderer to have a magical texture lookup storage and another hack to tell it to be able to take textures from another model.

I have no idea how kalcor managed to pull this feat in game itself, i imagine that renderware helped his case.

But for me in the editor it's pure hell, it was simply NOT designed for anything like this, it was designed to render the gta map as fast as humanly possible.. these things we are discussing.. are NOT compatible with rendering models very fast and efficiently :/
