  Documentation
  after correction :
  The following warning has been added:
  "If
  you copy an internal import As specified, you will generate an
  import (internal or external according to the target document)
  of the original import's reference."
  .
  Additional
  Information:
  When the object of "As Result With Link" exists
  in "Selected components" of "PowerCopy", the object of "As
  Result With Link" is pasted to other part. When the object of
  "As Result With Link" is pasted to other part, link reference
  of the object becomes an original object. This behavior is the
  specification in the case of paste on other part.
