I believe that most applicants (perhaps nearly all) for sponsored partner PR work together, either in person, by phone, or email, or even paper mail, to compile the application forms and supporting documentation. And indeed, a lot of information to be included in one form or to be submitted in support, is relevant to items in another form, including of course many items in those forms specifically for the sponsor calling for much the same information and supporting documentation as items in those forms specifically for the applicant (the sponsored person).
It is the sponsor, though, who is responsible for the total compilation of all forms and documentation, and who then submits the total package to CPC-M, so an applicant who is abroad sends all the applicant's forms and supporting documentation to the sponsor, who then compiles the total package for submission.
We did not duplicate supporting documentation. In some instances we did not even duplicate information provided in response to certain items (where a narrative response was appropriate -- if it was specific information, like dates or addresses, short answers, we duplicated the information), but rather made a reference to where that documentation or information was. We labelled every item we submitted in support, and grouped those items, so we could refer to specific photograhs on such-and-such a page of photographs, or refer to specific emails by email number such-and-such, and so on. In particular, for the item you specifically ask about, we (well, technically my wife, my sponsor, since it was her form -- though again, we prepared the forms working together) simply included a statement to the effect: "see this xx and that yyy and zzz," referring to specific groups of supporting documents and the narrative responses we compiled in response to similar question for the applicant.

Bureaucracy is what bureaucracy does, or When in doubt, follow the instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions.
