Hi,
I found a way around this without having to access fcurves or interrogate the Property too much.
Whilst you can't CopyPaste a Property from a Referenced Model (with animation or without) to another object, you can CopyPaste it on top of the same Property type.
E.g.
If you select a Visibility Property on a Referenced Model and try to Copy it ctrl+C, XSI will complain.
If you try and drag the Referenced Visibility Property onto another Object, xsi will complain.
If you drag the Visibility Property onto an existing Visibility Property, XSI will accept it and all the animation, fcurves and Expressions, will be copied over.
Copypaste "cubegroup.visibility" , "Passes.pass_show_cube.cubepartition.visibility"
