This is related to Bug 50855 about parser functions and magic words.

When I have a sentence on a page like this:

   Choose the "{{int:visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip}}" item in the
"{{int:visualeditor-toolbar-insert}}" menu. 

I want to be able to:

(1) copy and paste; 
(2) edit; and
(3) create

the {{int:foo}} parts.  

Right now, I can only copy them for re-use elsewhere on the page if I select a
bigger block of text (so "{{int:visualeditor-toolbar-insert}}", but not just
{{int:visualeditor-toolbar-insert}}).

I can't edit them at all; it's an uneditable alienated text block.  Given the
long strings of similar names for some of these items, it would be really handy
to be able to copy and paste something like {{int:visualeditor-toolbar-insert}}
and only need to change the "insert" bit to "cite-label", or to fix a typo in
the name.

It would also be nice to have a sensible system for creating these things.  At
the moment, it can only be done through this sequence:  Insert > Template,
"Other options", Content, type in the wikitext, and Insert transclusion. 

However, my main concern is just being able to edit existing ones.
