Duplicate post to draft of a different post_type

    Hi,

    I use this plugin for years and it’s a must-have tool for us, I must say.

    I wondered if there is a possibility to extend the functionality of this plugin, though, so as to allow copying a post of post_type A into a post of post_type B.

    The real-life example I can give you is on a news site that has a custom post type “breaking” for breaking news. These are short stories with more details usually to follow later. At some point, the editor wants to duplicate this short breaking news story into a draft of post type “post” which is for news in-depth story.

    Right now, it’s only possibly in your plugin to duplicate within the same post type. Code-wise, it is very easy to simply pass along the new post_type (as you do with a new post_status) to the duplicate function.

    The question is, can this be done?

    Many thanks,

    Bira
