at the mouse pointer position into the [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/LayerList#ActivateLayer active data layer]:
* all nodes and parent objects will be preserved as they were selected (relative position is kept)
* links in the data (''node-way'', ''way-relation'' and ''node-relation'') will be respected only if they were [Help/Dialog/SelectionList#Selection selected]; cloned objects will have (new) links similar to copied objects

== Pasting object URLs ==
When you have an open [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/LayerList osm data layer] and you paste an object URL from osm.org e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/20830918 the object will be [[wikitr:/Help/Downloading data|downloaded]] to the current active data layer. This works for all [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object object types].
