Is there a way site columns from a published content type in gallery be used directly used in a document library?

thanks

Hi, not sure to completely understand your scenario, but if I refer to your last question, Yes, you should be able to add a column from a published content type to a library. However, with the new approach recently introduce to deploy content type from the content type hub (gallery), if you publish the content type it does not provision the content type and related columns to all sites. What it does is to make the content type available to be provision into a site. The content type and related columns will be provision only when you attach it to a document library/list in your site. So if the content type where the column you want to add into a library has not been attached to a library in your site, the column will probably not be available. Hope it is what you are asking for...
