No, the copy of an object is always detached from the graph, which in CDO implies that it's TRANSIENT (i.e., view==null,
id==null).

That's not possible, because the container reference is implicitely bidirectional and leaving it intact would imply to
add the object to the containment reference of its container.

Yes, only you can decide where to attach/add the copied object.

Yes, and the EMF plumbing (the container reference), too.
