To borrow from the old AD&D Core Rules 2 Expansion toolset, selective content import is a well-used feature of that toolset.
Of course, they didn't have the concept of "secure" imports... but still, you could open an import file and view the contents. It would show what items would conflict with what was in your DB and allow you to either select everything, or just the items you wanted.
VERY handy when you have a large export for archival purposes, but only want to grab a few things from it for a particular encounter set.
This is still a use case I employ today in that tool.
