Alas no, this is not a feature the program would be able to support without doing a massive overhaul and changing the design process to make use of threads for data transference. I will probably not be doing anything like this to the program
But, there is a way todo exactly what you want it to do. If person A and B have completed their designing for their respective halves of the components.txt file (what they have done would be saved to the COMP.txt files they both would have created upon using the program), then a simple copy+paste job in notepad would suffice provided it kept a one line gap between the first component in the 2nd list, and the Last component from the first (this is the same gap that all components must have in the components.txt file).
Once pasted into the components.txt file, reloading the component modder would display all the entries present.

P.S. the component list automatically scrolls back up to the top again after the edit component details window is closed. This could be a pain for modders who have to continually open and close windows.

Its not a hassle to set the current selection back to the one that you just finished editing. This will be included in the next revision for sure
As for moving entries up and down, this would be useful as well, thats definately going on the todo list
