We've often touched on the undesirability of using copy and paste to move things around and it has suddenly hit me that you can avoid that by using a library.

The one thing I'm not clear on is how to name an asset as you story it in the library. Does the store command return a reference to the asset you just created?

If so, then you don't need a name:

set myAsset to store myItem in myLibrary
select insertion point -1 of myTextFrame
place myAsset on document 1
delete myAsset

Note that in this case, the placed asset is not selected. The insertion point simply advances.
