I'm almost sure that what you want to do is feasible with XXE but, in my opinion, you don't use the right tools:
[1] create a new document which contains the selected chapter or section --> Your macro should invoke a process command which will save the selection to a file. You did that. Great, you are using the right tool for this step! [2] copy the entire content of the new document as an inclusion to the clipboard [3] replace the selected chapter or section in the origin document with an entity reference from the clipboard to the new document --> Use command "include" with parameter "replace [...]", and not "copyAsInclusion"/"pasteInclusionEnabled".
