Upgrade StorageDuplicating a reference
This is a great tool. One thing that would make it even better for me is if I could duplicate a reference (copy & paste it, essentially). The reason is that I often cite more than one article in a collection, so I have to re-type the book's title, editor(s), date, and so forth for each one.
It would be even better if I could use the scraper to get the book's bibliographical information from a web site, then change to "book section" and leave all the other information in place, so all I would have to add would be author, title, and pages. As it is, it converts the book title into the title of the section, so it's not quite as useful. I realize that I'm probably fantasizing on this, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Sincerely,
Derek

dstillmanDerek -- you're not fantasizing. Item duplication will be in the next beta release, and the ability to create multiple sections of a single larger work will be possible when we implement a hierarchical item type system in the next major version later this year.
