stuffing a group into a database or other file

[stephen barncard]

the copy command can obtain the binary image of any object, which then
resides in clipboardData[ objects]  and can be  stored as a custom property
or a binary 'blob' for your db

This is what I did to create a way to export  sound clips from a stack to
see if it could be done.
