(Get the code!)
This issue hasn't been obsoleted, as far as I can tell.
The desired result can of course be achieved using existing features. So when I want to create a new SVG image from a part of a drawing I could to the following:
1. Copy the part from the original drawing.
2. Open a new document.
3. Paste the object from the clipboad.
4. Open the property dialog and choose "Fit page to selection".
The feature described in this issue would allow the following:
1. Copy part from the original drawing.
2. Select "Edit → paste as new".
I don't know if other people would like this shortcut, or if it would just clutter the Edit menu further. But I think it actually is of some help when one wants to split a drawing into several pieces.
