Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have to go through a lot of steps to copy a subset of frames into a new editor

Describe the solution you'd like
Select frames from the frame reel / timeline, copy

Allow them to be pasted into the timeline of another editor instance

Describe alternatives you've considered
Option A: Save to project file and reopen it, delete unused frames and keep only wants wanting to use

Option B:

Copy them to clipboard
explore content
copy the file path
Create blank project, delete first frame (the canvas won't match the clipboard's canvas, so you will get a prompt step 7)

do not discard old project (or clipboard content will be lost)
Insert -> Media
In explorer, paste the clipboard URL

change to list view so you can click the images in order
Fit image on canvas
Delete leftover blank frame from starting a new session
Edit / save / etc

Additional context

Gimp has Image -> Duplicate
