Combining parts of infoitems into new info item

[srdiamond]

A frequently encountered problem in organizing textual data is extracting parts of infoitems into a new infoitem. One of the few programs that attends to this problem is InfoRecall (http://www.phantech.com), using a feature called boilerplate, which accumulates copies on a single clipboard. Zoot! is supposed to have a feature that accomplishes recombination adroitly; I haven't used it.

I don't know what the best approach is, but I think UR should have a feature addressing this need.
