Any way to copy sections within a topic?

I would love a way to copy a section, including all subsections. E.g., hit F8 and in addition to Add Section and Move Section, the context menu would also give the option to Copy Section, which would allow you to make a copy of the current section (including all subsections, snippets, and other content contained in that section) above or below the current section.

An example: rather than having separate topics for monster, boss monster, and big-boss monster (e.g. hobgoblin, hobgoblin captain, hobgoblin warlord), I create a single "monster" topic and have a section for base monster, boss monster, and big-boss monster. Each section will have subsections for statblock, tactics, and reward.
 
You'll probably want to put this into the Requests forum. (Maybe the Mods can move it for you?)

ObTopic: I have yet to want to do this, so I'm neutral on the feature.

So, I've created a new subcategory of Monsters/Enemies, called Monsters/Enemies-Complex. I've made a base monster section and higher-level section. But it looks like you can only use a section one time. Therefore, I'm creating four levels and hiding two of them.

So I have:

Base Level
Higher Level
Boss Level
Higher Boss Level

Anything more complicated than that should use multiple monster topics IMHO. But this will take care of all of the instances I can think of, most of which only have 2 or 3 levels of hierarchy.
 
Ugh... EXCEPT, I can't edit the section name!? I would like the section name to read "goblin" and "goblin boss", not "base monster" and "higher-level monster"....
so...I'm back to doing this manually ad hoc.
 
Perhaps create a base NPC/creature, then duplicate the Topic/Article for the variant and contain it under its base? That'd also allow linking directly to the variant.
 
That makes sense, but it is so common to have, say, X number of goblins and a goblin boss, that I don't want to have to open them in different tabs. Any, yes, it appears that copying existing sections and renaming sections are feature requests.
