What about a command that lets users safely move a vector from one 
locagion into the other?

But how to /display/ data from another location?

Imagine a shared location with common data such as world borders or GSHHS.
It would not be space efficient to import such large data into every new 
project.
Rather sharing the common location when needed.

I will try this.
