Hi, a few weeks ago I wrote an script that may help you.

It separates all polygon clusters in the selected object, or selected
polygon clusters, or selected polygon components,
and keep their properties (or at least some of them).

The script logic is something like this:
Duplicate the selected object.
Delete unneeded polygons (unselected clusters) from the new object.
Take the polygon cluster material and delete it. (if the source was a
poly-cluster, the new object won't have poly-clusters)

Run it while clicking Ctrl and it will delete the source.

Since it is duplicating and deleting instead of just extracting a polygon
cluster, it is a little slow if the object is a very high poly model with
lots of poly clusters.
I used Duplicate because I wanted to keep the envelope weights in the
extracted objects, and that's the only way I know.

It's just an script so you can't do one click undo.
I may release a plugin version soon.
