Spatie Media Library: Attaching the same image to many posts

I am just starting with filament and I wanted to use Spatie Media Library. What I do not understand is if I can reuse an already uploaded file. Lets say I have a table with posts and each post has a preview-image. The upload field looks like this:
SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload::make('Preview Image')
->collection('preview-images')
SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload::make('Preview Image')
->collection('preview-images')
But what if many posts will have the same image ? Do I need to upload the same image for every post ? The upload field does not allow me to choose an existing one and attach it to my post. thanks

Not possible natively. If you want to stick with spatie then I’d recommend #ralphjsmit-media-library-manager
