I support this idea. It would be nice to have the ability to retexture objects used in DE events, such as containers, wrecked cars, destroyed armored vehicles, and so on.

I generally agree. Right now you can use addon prefixing to do that, but this would change every intcance of an object and not create a new variant. This solution is also data-heavy because it requires you to re-upload all vanilla textures again for the folder you are overriding...
