Re: What is the expected method for sharing sitelinks across campaigns using the Campaign Extension Setting service?

I need to build a service that uses the Adwords API to manage sitelinks that can be shared across multiple campaigns. I've previously used the various Feed services to handle this, but I noticed there are newer Extension Setting services that simplify the mapping process for the standard matching function. However, from what I've been able to find, the guides don't mention anything about using the same sitelinks (or other extensions) across multiple campaigns. Is this something that can be achieved using the Extension Setting services? It seems like one approach would be something like this:

1. ADD the sitelinks to the first campaign.
2. Parse the sitelinks out of the return value of the add operation (to get their ids) and use the SET operator on any other campaigns.

It's a bit confusing though, since the initial ADD operation is being used to both create the sitelinks and do the mapping. Is there a more straightforward approach (that still doesn't require the use of FeedItems and the like)? Something like this:

1. Create the sitelinks without mapping them to any campaigns.
2. Using the returned info (sitelinks with ids), use the SET operator with the Campaign Extension Service to create the mappings.

I don't see any way of achieving step 1 outside of using the Feed services, but I thought I would ask in case I overlooked something.

Thanks,
