Feature Request: Object references erased when process flow is copied

Currently when copying over models it erases all the object references in triggers (wait for event, event-triggered source) - despite the fact that the model might have the objects being referenced copied over. 1678742467526.png

If you just sampled an object and had it's pointer (memory address) in the activity's object field, then it will not be able to know to which object that refers when transferred to a new model since everything has a different memory address.

You can refer to objects using groups, find() or label pointers on member objects within Object Process Flows such that your process flows are portable - but you need to design them that way.
