How to move item with link between vaults while preserving links?

I have recently tried to move an item between vaults that has a link to a file. When I invoked a move command, I got a dialog box telling me that the link will be broken. It would be nice if I got an option to move the linked item to a new vault, rather then having to move everything individually and then re-link it.

Steps
1. Create an item in a vault
2. Link it to another item (e.g. add a file)
3. Move the item to another vault

Expected
1Password asks whether I want to move the linked item to the other vault as well, preserving the link.

Actual
1Password asks to confirm the link will will be broken.

Troubleshooting
I have tried selecting both the item and it's linked file and invoking the move on both of them, but the I received the same dialog telling me the link will be broken.

Workaround
Move the items individually and then relink them. This works, but is tedious and error prone.

    What does the 'hopefully' count? Is this on the list? Or in works already?

    I just switched to 1PW7 and now am in the state of cleaning up my database, where I have quite some of these items.

    Isn't there any scripting support or something? Moving and re-linking things manually seems pretty cumbersome ;)
