Omnigraffle supports linkback for embedding editable content in other applications. See "LinkBack" in the reference section of the OG Help.
Linkback can also be used within an OG document. Select an OG object and Copy As>PDF. Paste the result anywhere in the document. Double-click on the pasted object and a new document window will open within which you can edit the original object. Save the edited version and all instances of it in the document will be changed.
You could reserve one canvas to hold the collection of master objects to copy and paste in the rest of the document, but note that the masters must themselves be instances of the pdf objects.
You can copy and paste linked objects from one document to another, but changes to them propagate only within a single document. It's the same if you put them into a stencil.
