It states in the Objects book, GenClass MSG_GEN_REPLACE_VIS_MONIKER, that if
more than one object shares the overwritten block, the other object should be
updated with MSG_GEN_USE_VIS_MONIKER. However, the original is now
overwritten, so if the other object references it, it will now have the new
one to reference
There is nothing preventing you from also using MSG_GEN_REPLACE_VIS_MONIKER
to also change the other objects reference if you've got them both using the
same moniker, or if you've actually written it to both objects visMoniker
areas.
