I'm having the same problem, ie. find it impossible to insert hyperlink directly into item details (while copying the item from another hoisted tab).
It would be very nice feature, if dragging from the Data explorer and pointing to another tab would activate this tab, so that user could drop it to the item details or data explorer of that tab.
Or, at the very least, preserve the clipboard, the fact the the tree is reloaded should have no effect on the clipboard content.
Thanks for consideration
