If there was an XML object viewer (with secondary objects), you’d be able to “template” any object.
Copy the XML data and paste it into the Text Import, et voilà… you’d have a clone. Paste the XML into a Note and you’d have a template you could tweak and re-use.
There is a Feature Request for an XML export of selected object(s) from views:
- 0013805: Export view: add Gramps XML (uncompressed) Format option
- also related: “Is your experimental XML viewer gramplet from 2011-2016 still available?”
- Copy/paste/create a separate person via JSON
