Consider whether it would be better for drag-and-drop compendium exports to generate a new and different _id instead of keeping the same _id #10472

What happened?

System: D&D 3.0.3

Foundry Version: image

issue: When moving item from compendium A to compdium B, the ID is kept, even after editing item name and description item id is not changed, despite for all purposes it being a new and different item. When moving item back to compendium it will delete old items. this makes making variants harder. for more details read from Chat linked below

I think this is intentional to help people do migrations and minimize the amount of redoing pointers necessary; if you import to world then export again it will generate fresh IDs

Not a bug, but a worthwhile question about what the UX should be here. We'll think about it.
