"One essential feature is missing"

Summary
A friend has bought this app and I have toyed with it a little. It is simple to use and an example of clean design. However, there is one thing you cannot do: you cannot copy or move elements between pages (or at least I haven't found the way). This renders the app absolutely useless for any serious prototyping, or wireframing or whatever you want to call it.
Say, for instance, that you have a navigation bar with 10 elements. You can only link to existent pages, so you make 10 pages and make the links. You then discover you cannot copy the navbar to those pages (you can duplicate it, but only on the original page and you cannot move it to other page). The only option you have is to delete the 10 "placeholder" pages and then duplicate 10 times the page containing the navbar. Oh, but look! Since you first deleted the placeholder pages, the links of all the 10 navbars are now lost too and you have to restore them BY HAND. 10 links x 10 navbars = 100 links. Isn't it nice? You can minimize the number of links by progressively build the navbar as pages are added, but it is a ridiculous workaround.
The only thing Adobe must do to make it really useful is to add a menu item to that black little circle that appears on the left of any selected item and this menu item should say "copy to page...". And then all problems are solved and this would turn from a toy to a really useful app.
I think Adobe has a serious problem as far as usability is concerned. This is not the first Adobe product that lacks very important features (think Adobe Reader that cannot add a bookmark). Adobe, now that your products look all very nice (and I must congratulate you for this lesson learned from Apple), please make them more useful!
