ability to 'copy' or 'link to' command opens a submenu which is really the explorer pane in order to place data where user wants it in one step instead of copy or link to imported items to be moved later. Thank you.

Do you mean something like the Move/Link (Alt-L) window, except that it's available outside UR - would be available from UR external tool bar buttons, or right-click Store or Link selection?

I've wondered why this wasn't available.

yes.
