[Bug Report] Hotkeys for multiple Paste (Reference) items in the same scene get set to the same value when program is re-opened.

I've setup a number of paste (reference) text items on a scene I'm using to display my game. This is so that I can change one text value and have multiple text boxes change onscreen in different places. However, I have also set separate Show/Hide hotkeys to each of the different references to the text in order to make them visible as I see fit (for example, as players move around the screen, the label for them disappears in the old position and the label in their new position reappears). This works fine, until I close OBS. When I open OBS again, it sets all the hotkeys for the same referenced item to the same hotkey.

Unfortunately this is a result of how OBS addresses sources, which is done on a name basis. So, since all of the reference sources are the same name, they get identified on program load as needing the same hotkey associations as the original source.

Currently the only way to get around this is to paste (duplicate) so that each source is actually unique, and has a separate name.

I don't believe this will be fixed until there's a revamp in source enumeration to decouple it from needing unique names.
