Long on the wishlist, but not possible

I did the following sequence, and I preserved:
1. Routing.
2. Board vs Schematic consistency.
This makes me think that a call to fairly high level code that implements
the mouse clicks could be done if there were
groups on both the schematic and the board.
This in turn makes me think a schematic file and a board file could be used
in their entirety by a high level routine.
So I wonder if it is a technical concern, or a policy issue (anti piracy or
some such).
Efforts on compound library.
1. Select group and cut desired parts from existing board.
2. Copy to board with no schematic open.
3. Select group and cut desired schematic from
existing consistent schematic.
4. Copy to schematic with no board open.
5. Run ERC. Look for this type of error.
Parts not found in board:
1N4734
POWER
Elements not found in schematic:
U$1
Check for net names that have an extra digit, rename.
6. Repeat the cut+paste or else delete extra material, again
with exactly one of {board, schematic} open.
7. Repeat from ERC until consistent. There may be airwires.
8. Stretch, feel satisfied, work more.
