Cannot use addon sounds in mission CfgSounds

Description

adding addon sounds to mission description.ext CfgSounds does not work.

Steps To Reproduce

Lets take A3 addon sound "click" defined in A3 addon

class CfgSounds
{
class border_out
{

Border out;

		sound[] = {"A3\missions_f\data\sounds\border_out.ogg",0.56234133,1};
		titles[] = {};

};
class border_in
{

Border In;

		sound[] = {"A3\missions_f\data\sounds\border_in.ogg",0.56234133,1};
		titles[] = {};

};
class click
{

Click;

		sound[] = {"A3\missions_f\data\sounds\click.wss",0.91201085,1};
		titles[] = {};

};
};

execute playSound "click" in debug console and it works

define own click sound click2 in mission config (description.ext) identical to A3 one

class CfgSounds
{
class click2
{

Click;

		sound[] = {"A3\missions_f\data\sounds\click.wss",0.91201085,1};
		titles[] = {};

};
};
execute playSound "click2" in debug console and it DOESN'T work.

So if I want to use A3 sounds I have to copy them to my mission. This is very inefficient, please fix this.

Still an issue on 1.40 stable :( Ticket was created in 2013 and it's not fixed in 2015? C'mon! Please fix it.

I am not good at scripting but I think click2 is the classname and "Click" is the sound name.

Does it work if you execute playSound "Click2" and rename the sound to "Click2"?

I've tried it to be sure, not working. But I think it is correct to use classname, like in this example: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext#cfgSounds
