Provide the capability "Duplicate and Replace" for embedded artifacts.

When requirement artifacts with embedded artifacts are duplicated (e.g. duplicate a module with option "duplicate all artifacts"), there is no way to duplicate also the embedded artifact. What we want is a functionality similar to the function "Copy and Replace" provided in ETM, which provides as a single operation a) make a duplicate of the embedded artifact, b) and replaces the existing embedded artifact with the duplicated one. This should work also for embedded images, as especially for images it is not obvious to all users, that the image is a separate embedded artifact. A user might change an embedded image, without be aware that he changed the origin and not a duplicate, which is critical in case of approved origins. We would expect at least some clear indicator for embedded images (as for regular requirement artifacts).
