It is possible to use a component or resource programmed in a project within another project. I am currently creating a new project and in order not to copy and paste or have to do the same programming in the new project, I wanted to know if this possibility exists.

If its just a script or template or anything exportable from the project, nothing is stopping you from exporting that from project A on Gateway A and importing it to project B on Gateway B (outside of any legal reason you would not be able to) you're importing into a equal or newer version.
