Merge Comments/Annotations?

[PHK]

Hi, all.

I know that I can create a Stamp that is a combination of two or more Comments by selecting the respective Comments and creating a Stamp using 'New Stamp from Selection..' in the Comments context menu. I also know that I can make such a composite Comment as above by flattening the selected Comments which are added to base content in an XForm that can be pasted as a volatile stamp as opposed to a non-volatile Stamp that has been added to the Stamp folder. But is there a simple way of combining multiple Comments into a single non-base content without creating a new Stamp or copying base content that can be pasted elsewhere on the page or on a different page or different file?

Reason for query: Obviously, users can select multiple Comments at a time and Copy or Cut and Paste the combination elsewhere. But should the user wish to manipulate the combination (re-scale, rotate, etc.), there is no way for all the combined, or merged, Comments to be dealt with as a single unit unless it is as a proper non-volatile Stamp or a volatile stamp pulled from base content.
