The question was only about the default behavior of pasting. But I have 
talked with Armin about such features as "Mark some objects and send 
them to a specific layer". That would be indeed a nice feature besides 
that what will be possible, if switching from layer tab bar to Navigator.

The content of the clipboard is always the same, because the source 
document does not know, what the user will do with the clipboard 
content. The target document decides what it takes from the clipboard.

LibreOffice puts a lot of things into the clipboard. Tools like 
FreeClipboardViewer show you the entire (I hope) content.

Kind regards
Regina
