Can refer to the same filepath by multiple artifacts about gto HOT 3 CLOSED

@aguschin - I'm not sure how links are to be implemented but probably in some unique explicit way and not like that. so I think the interface should represent that
Maybe something like that?

❯ gto add mymodel model models/m1.txt
(Done)
❯ gto add mymodel2 models models/m1.txt
ERROR: models/m1.txt is already a registered model (mymodel)
❯ gto link mymodel2 mymodel
mymodel2 was created as a link to mymodel (models/m1.txt)
(Done)

from gto.

I do recall a the link object_type in mlem, but I think that was set up as an explicit alias from an already existing model artifact. If links are in scope, maybe it'd be nice for gto to detect that you're trying to add the same model twice, and offer to create a link/alias instead?

I had in mind a case when you use this as MLEM links, but that's could be a bit complicated considering current project maturity. So it makes sense to me to make such a restriction for now for simplicity of things. It can be lifted later.
