BitTorrent v2 also includes a per file hash tree https://blog.libtorrent.org/2020/09/bittorrent-v2/

so I assume that if you end up with the same file in multiple torrents, you'll be able to grab the files from seeds of these other torrents.

It would be interesting to see if that standard replaces Bittorent v1. For now it is not nearly as popular (everyone just uses v1, I don't know about any site, which has any significant number of v2 torrents).
