I think this could be a very useful building and scripting addition, the ability to right click on an item, in world that is, go through a radial menu to select "Copy Item's Location as a vector", "Copy Item's Rotation as a vector", "Copy Item's Key", etc, sorta like how from inventory you can get a texture or sound's UUID. Yes, you can get all of this stuff right now, but this would be a major timesaver in a lot of the things I do.

Hmm, interisting idea, maybe in the More option set have a Copy with things like Vector Coords, etc listed.

I posted something like this in the feature requests a while back. Right-clicking the label over the position or rotation fields in the edit window would give a pop-up menu with various copy options. It could be expanded to right-clicking anywhere in that tab pane gives you the same list that included copying ALL fields as well as individual groups.

Copy Position
Copy Rotation
Copy Size
Copy Modifiers
Copy All But Position
Copy All

Paste... All of the above.

Similar pop-ups can be in the other tab panes for copying name, description, permissions, contents, textures (on all selected faces), etc...
