cut (not copy) and paste property node without creating new control

I know you can control-click-drag to copy a property node and keeping it linked to the current control. But, is there a way to effectively do the same thing with a cut and paste? i.e. cut but when you paste it is still linked to the same control rather than creating a new one?

Drag without Ctrl. If you drag the node across a structure boundary, it will disconnect all the wires which are connected to it.

Normally that's what I do but in this particular case with some code I inherited, the control was very far away from the actual code on the BD. So I right click, created property node, then had to drag, scroll, drag, scroll etc until I was back where the code was. It would have just been easier to cut, scroll all the way to the code then paste. Not something that happens too often in the code I write Smiley Tongue, but I was just curious.

Well, you can also relink a property node to a control using its context menu, but if you have a lot of controls, it's probably easier to recreate the node from scratch than to go through the list of controls.
