Subset Editor - more intuitive alternatives to pasting in list

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Users who work in the Cube Viewer often find it difficult to figure out how to paste-in an external list of elements that have been copied to the clipboard. Often the existing element list in the subset editor first needs to be cleared out. Then the user needs to click to select the header of the "Name" column. Only after this, could the user do a Ctrl-V to paste in the list.

Describe the solution you'd like

Wanted to see if we could have a more intuitive UI interaction to paste in a list. A few possibilities come to mind:

• "Paste" toolbar button with a few sub-options: (1) paste from clipboard after selected element; (2) paste from clipboard to replace list. If the subset editor is current empty, then (1) can be inactive
• When the subset editor shows no elements, in the center of the table, there could be some action buttons: (1) paste list from clipboard; (2) show all elements; (3) show root elements
• When the subset editor shows no elements, do not require first clicking on the "Name" header before accepting pasting from the clipboard
