Branch/search export and merge

I'd like to start a separate thread on a feature I personally find very important for the scalability of a program like UltraRecall but as far as I know is not mentioned in the roadmap, even in the long term.

My suggestion is to provide the ability to export a part of the tree, be it a specific branch or a filtered (search results) view, as a separate UR database. In addition, there should be the possibility to "merge" another UR database into the one currently open, as a branch of the current tree. Personal Brain provides a similar functionality.

This way, a branch or category that grows out of proportion for practical navigation, can become a database of its own. Inversely, one can join several independent databases into a larger one if required.

I believe this will greatly enhance the program's versatility and potential for handling large databases.

You may want to take a look at how Sycon's IDEA!, which is also a one-document program, provides the ability to work with multiple databases:

(See IDEA! Team Edition "Multi Database / Multi Tree" near the end of the page).
