First of all: How about hardlinks?


Second:

  See
  http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-publish-html-tutorial.php#sec-7.1 
  
  That shows how you can share files between projects, simply by pulling
  them in through a special export  project.
  I use this technique a lot. One advantage is that each project has a
  complete set of files.
  The drawbacks are minor for my use-case, but that might vary. But as
  linking was enough, this approach should be fine.
