Replace geometry of node with way

[joshdoe]

Enhance the "Replace geometry" command of utilsplugin2 to allow replacing a node with a way (or multipolygon). Think of this common scenario when you encounter a POI that is a node but you have imagery where you can trace the building outline:

• Draw the building outline as a way
• Merge the existing POI node into one of the nodes of the building outline way (to preserve a connection in the history)
• Copy and paste the tags from the node to the way
• Delete the tags from the node

The last four operations can be easily and logically provided by the "Replace geometry" command.

Merging POI into building outline does not sound like a good idea ("extract node" in utilsplugin2 was created exactly to remove such situations). As for me, it is better to leave POI inside the building (by the way, it does not occupy the whole building usually).

Replying to akks:

I think I might not have been clear enough. Imagine someone puts a node for a stand-alone restaurant in the middle of the building outline. Surely the restaurant information should be on the building, not on the node in the middle of the building.

I think you may have been referring to a building which houses multiple features, in which case I totally agree with you.

So, the idea is to incorporate node in new contour without tags. Sorry, I did not understand the first time.
I agree, "Replace geometry" is a right place for this feature.

It is better if this action author Zverikk add the feature himself.
