Copying ports from one element to another

[natvig]

Is there a way to copy the ports from one element to another element, without having to copy the entire element. Preferably, I'd like to selectively copy any number of ports from the source element to the target element.

I have tried copying the ports by dragging them from the browser and release them over an element in a diagram. (This is what you can do to copy operations between elements.) Not working for ports. I have tried dragging them within the browser, which allows you to MOVE ports from one element to another. But I haven't found a modifier key to invoke copying instead. I have tried the context meny in the browser efter selecting port to find a copy function that works, but cannot find anything that works.

The only workaround I have found is to copy the whole element containing the port that I wish to use. Then MOVE the port as suggested above. Then finally delete what is left from the copied element. Is there a better way?

I guess no.
