Yeah, that is also a good option Geoff. I like that one a lot, how will it function if you copy/dupe a node which is a landing page but do not copy the newly copied node out to a new branch?

On select you copy all the relevant content and place the "new" duped node as a sibling of the current node. Then the user can drag drop the new node/branch to a new location. That would save the hassle of trying to do anything to clever in th JS and would be a case of writing a duplicate method for the tree object. Historically copy has been a commonly requested feature -- but its not a trivial update.
