Play multiple instances of the same animation simultaneously

AnimationManagerEx works with the file name of an animation created in cocostudio which makes it impossible to play more than one animation on screen at the same time.
Is there a way to play the same animation file multiple times?

check loop in animation?

This won’t allow me to put 2,3 animations on screen.
I don’t want to replay the same animation, i want multiple instances on screen at the same time.

Right now i edited the AnimationManagerEx to accomplish this.
I want to know how others achieved this and if this feature is really needed for the core repo. For me it was the best approach without workarounds.
