Copy parts from assembly in a version

A workflow I've tried a couple of times is finding parts in an assembly on a version then attempting to copy to dump into another assembly. But this doesn't seem to work. Any idea's why?

Notice between the two images here, the one which is a version is missing the highlighted option on the context menu
You will still need to use the insert dialogue and set it to a version.
What I ended up doing was branching the source doc, copying the group of parts and pasting into a new dummy assembly, switching the parts to ref the version, copying the dummy assembly by RMB on the tab, pasting the assembly in the target document, inserting pasted assembly in target assembly and moving parts into the target assembly then returning to the source document to delete the branch to keep things tidy and finally delete the dummy assy from the target. Surely there could be an easier way? In hindsight, it may have been quicker to just insert the piece parts and re-mate but sometimes a lot of time can be saved by copying from other designs.
