FEATURE REQUEST:
Allow user to Copy Item(s) and then do a Query and paste (move) into one of the Query results items.

USE CASE
One of UR's great strengths is that I can create a To Do task in my GTD inbox and then later assign it to a project. But when there are a LOT of projects the click and drag approach becomes cumbersome


When I get UR fully loaded I'll have this scenario:

I'll probably have 200+ projects.
I'm going through my Inbox and moving tasks to their appropriate projects. I'll probably select multiple tasks that all go in one project. I want to move them all.
It's very difficult to find the project I want to paste them into. If I do a Search then I lose my selection of Tasks in the Data Explorer window. If I use the Move/Link option it doesn't let me search for projects.

What I've tried:

- Link/Move - doesn't let me search to find the one project out of 200+
-Cut/Paste - After I do a search the past option is grayed out.

It would be great if I could :

-Cut item(s)
-Click on my 'All Projects' search and possibly do a keyword search for a particular project
-Right-click on the Project in question in the Results window.
-Paste

it doesn't allow to paste directly to the search results, but if you just hit enter (or double click) on the item you found, then you can

I didn't realize that when you double-click or hit enter on the search result that the Item is selected. (I previously was then scanning for the bolded (selected) project and then right-click and paste.

It's still a lot of steps, but less now.

The above is similar to a request of mine : See

Kinook Software Forums -
"Search for folder as I type and F3 to search for Next Match

Under Tools, Options, Import, I have ticked Select location when importing or pasting from other applications.

Thus when I have clicked Copy to Ultra Recall, a dialog box would appear allowing me to select the appropriate folder.

Selecting a folder would be a cinch if I had say 5 folders, but after a while, I may have 100+ folders.
