Research direction

Start by tracing the existing export and import actions, including their context-menu entries, and the layer and tileset editing entry points. Define how copy and paste should work between projects or Tiled app windows, including selected layers or tilesets and their context. Done means the requested cross-project copy/paste workflow is implemented and its behavior is covered by tests.
