A temporary workaround is actually possible. It's possible to open Pencil as a plugin in Firefox and the desktop version at the same time. Copy paste operations are available between the two instances.

Thanks for the suggestions! To address the Alternate desired result in 5 above, I've been using the following workaround: Document > New Window (Window 2) (Alternately) Document > Open... Select Object in Window 1 Edit > Copy Switch to Window 2 Edit > Paste

Issue described in 4 above still occurs and should be addressed.
