Bug Description
For web design - one of the most handy features in
illustrator is to select some text and apply a
"Rasterize' effect to it. It remains editable text, but
it displays as if it was rasterised. you get a dialogue
with options for dpi and antialising.
This is great for making blocks of pixel font text -
rasterize arial 10pt in illustrator with antialising
off to see what it will look like in the browser.
it would also be handy to be able to apply rasterise to
any element.

> apply rasterise to any element.
the existing feature "make bitmap copy" does the rasterizing
part
you can workaround the rest by duplicating the object and
keeping it around (perhaps on a hidden layer) after you
rasterize it.
the feature sounds interesting and it would certainly
streamline certian workflows so patches to imlement the
functionality you suggest would be very welcome but given
how similar results can be achieved in other ways it is
unlikely to be a high priority.
