Will Toolset View (version3) plugin would support loading a view from one site on another in WordPress Multisite?

I read these threads, but I want to confirm.

What I want to do and my situation:

I have a WP multisite and run some sites in the network.
Subsite3 (blog_id = 3) has a view named "item list".
I can display the view by insert shortcode "[wpv-view name="item-list"]" in the Subsite3.
I have Subsite4 (blog_id = 4) and I want to display the same item list as the Subsite 3.
If can, I want to insert view shortcode like "[wpv-view name="item-list" blog_id="3"] in the Subsite 4.

Hello,

There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset plugins, it needs custom codes, for example, you can try these:
1) Activate Toolset Views plugin in both subsites: Subsite3 and Subsite 4

2) Create a custom shortcodes in Subsite 4:

add_shortcode('switch_to_blog', function($atts, $content){
	$atts = shortcode_atts( array(
		'bid' => '',
	), $atts);
	$res = '';
	if($atts['bid']){
		switch_to_blog($atts['bid']);
		$res = do_shortcode($content);
		restore_current_blog();
	}
	return $res;
});

3) In Subsite 4, use above custom shortcode, like this:

[switch_to_blog bid="3"]
Here display target subsite3 contents:
[wpv-view name="item-list"]
[/switch_to_blog]

Please replace number 3 with your Subsite3 blog's ID.
