Can my Model Reference block become a linked library block in Simulink?

I was wondering if I could create a linked library block from a Model Reference block.

This bug has been fixed in Release 2007a (R2007a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

Simulink does not allow you to create a linked library from a Model block. Only subsystems and masked blocks can become linked library blocks. Model Reference blocks are not either of these type of blocks.

To work around this issue, you can consider either of the following options:

1. Put the model block into a subsystem block for the purpose of making that subsystem a library block.

This creates a subsystem wrapper that can then be a linked library block.

2. Mask the Model Reference block via:

set_param(gcb,'Mask','on')

This will then allow the Model Block to be a linked library block, since it becomes a masked block.
