Easier copy & pasting of individual study chapters?

First of all, I love the new interactive lesson feature for studies, thanks to all the work that went into it!

I recently wanted to try and create a system for a spaced repetition tactic training system that works like many people learn the vocabulary of a new language: I collect tactics that I wasn't able to figure out on my first try, create interactive lessons with tips and thorough explanations for the correct and incorrect moves. My next step would be to somehow shuffle those collected tactics, try to solve them again and depending on whether or not I solved them, sort them into different tactic collections (lichess studies) and keep at it, until I have solved a tactic multiple times without fail, each time sorting them into a new collection - if I do fail, it gets sorted back into the original collection.

Here's where my problems come in:
1. It's a little complicated to copy and paste individual chapters from one study to another. You first have to download the chapter .pgn, open it with a text-editor and then copy the text into the new chapter interface. It's not too difficult, but I imagine it could be a little simpler.
2. The "get a hint" texts are not transferrable. All the comments on the moves and subvariations are saved in the .pgn, but the hints aren't and therefore they're gone after copying a chapter into a new study.

Those are certainly rather obscure suggestions for improvement and features that not too many people will need. Nevertheless, I hope that someone of the developers might see this and consider it worth it to improve, or alternatively give me a suggestion on how I can do it differently. And maybe I have gained a few people's interest in trying out a similar tactics training system for themselves, and thus raised the number of people who these improvements could help.

Cheers!
