Hi Yves,
I'm glad you enjoy the new add-on.
Based on Pieterjan's similar request we added an issue for this:
EXM-49001 [Writer Helper] Automatically create reusable components
We do not have some precise future plans for it, we found useful for our
interns to work on it in order to get more accustomed using the Oxygen
APIs but indeed one direction would be to automatically create a
reusable component and conref to it from all places.
My initial wish for the add-on was for it to be useful no matter what
XML vocabulary you are using, so it does not have any DITA-specific
features.
Also the add-on only takes the text content into account when finding
similar content, so if your two similar paragraphs have different
attributes or they contain key refs, like for example one of them has a
keyref <ph keyref="abc"/> and the other does not, we still report them
as similar because we rely on the end user to make the final choice. So
if we add tools to make changes to the content we would need to find
perfect matches, paragraphs or blocks which have the same attributes and
precisely the same XML structure.
Regards,
Radu

Hi Alin,
I have just tested the add-on and I like the Find Similar Content
feature. Next question is, of course, whether there is some kind of
clever feature to turn (or transform) all of these elements in the
Results pane into a conkeyref and replace the identical content in one
go. ;-)
Kind regards
Yves
