One method that would be fairly easy to use would be to create a
directory filled with documents that contain a single equation. Frame
lets you import a document fairly easily (using a pick menu), and it
can import by copying or by reference, so you can save on storage if
you are certain your equation location will not vary.

Cutting and pasteing is a pretty good option as well, considering how
much clip art uses that technique. (Frame makes it quite easy to cut
and paste multi-page entities because the page automatically scrolls
as you drag the mouse with the select button down.)
