When you paste a GNUbg or XG Id in a running instance of the program, you paste a *position* : the placement of the chequers, the position and value of the cube, score, match length, rules, dice in the case of a chequer play position, and that's it. It stops at "X on roll" or "X rolled d1 d2", there is no information on the best play or the actual play in the game from which you copied the Id. For the latter you could copy the analysis of the play (after using Hint with GNUbg for instance), but this is text or HTML that you can paste on an editor, not in GNUbg itself. What you seem to want amounts to copying and pasting a fragment of a game, a position and the following play, possibly analyzed, and this feature doesn't exist.
