Paste nodes as inline references

Explain the problem as you see it

I have a list of chapters of my online course. I would like to add a task which would have all of them as subtasks. To do this, I create a specific task like "check the illustrations" and put all of the chapters as this task children (as subtasks). This way I know, that to complete the main task, I need to make that specific activity included in the task title through all of the chapters.

Sometimes I even go deeper and put not only chapters, but all of their lessons as subtasks.

Part of my chapters/lessons tree:

Task with subtasks being inline references to chapters and lessons from the tree:

Why is this a problem for you?

It's very time consuming to do this kind of stuff. Currently I do it the other way because of this – I created "an universal list" of chapters and lessons, added a supertag to all of the lessons and each new task got added to the supertag template:

Sadly, it's not optimal, because often there is no need to add a task to every single supertag instance.

Suggest a solution

Add a shortcut to paste copied visible structure as the same structure, but each node is an inline reference.
