Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
You should link the Collection named "Skinning"

Will CC @mont29, this looks to be quite bad regression. also set prio to high
I do not see how this
Circle
object should not be linked, since it's used by the linked armature as its bone shape."issue" here is that it gets instantiated in the scene, but... this is actually the correct behavior, previous behavior was actually a bug, since it would let an object without any owner collection (
D.objects['Circle'].users_collection- [x]
in py console would return an empty list), which is not allowed/supported in Blender.While this is arguably a badly organized file (root collection of a character should typically always contain every dependency, in hidden or excluded sub-collections if they should not be visible on screen), think we should avoid instantiating those stray objects in the view layer, and just add them to an hidden ad-hoc collection instead.
On second thought, it's better (in linking case only!) to not add indirectly linked objects to any local collection, otherwise it would make them directly linked, which is not ideal.
