I think I got you, but tried to add a little more on. Now I'm not sure what you mean by single or not in the whole outline. You mean the suboutline being pasted as template? Or the entire Leo outline you're working within and making templates within? I don't get why you can't look at the vnodes for the clones in the suboutline (let's call it the t-outline, for the suboutline tree that you've grabbed in the clipboard to make a template from), and identify all those in the t-outline that associate with identical vnodes. Each such set of nodes within the t-outline that point to the same vnode, get a new vnode and all of those clones get pasted as pointing at that new vnode instead. Thereby you've made the template's clones "local." Just go through the t-outline and make a list of gnxs and their current vnodes. When pasting, make new clone nodes pointing a new vnode for all of those that have the same/identical vnodes. Any clone-nodes in the t-outline that are solitary, with their own unique vnode, just get pasted as plain nodes. This would be different from paste-retaining-clones. (I guess paste-retaining-clones already does what I call template-as-global, right?)
