is it possible to do a (recursive) copy of a page and included 
(tt_content-)records _in_a_FE-plugin_?
I would prefer to have some assistance from the core, otherwise I have to 
copy the records by hand, probably missing a lot of references.

As I also will create/copy a BE-User, I probably can work in the contect 
of  this user, so this user later on should not be allowed to create new 
pages. 

Or maybe I can build a queue to create these users and pages from a 
scheduler task as cli-script?


the intended workflow should create/copy pages/records on submitting a FE-
form. As the password of the BE-user will be mailed it could also be done 
by a queued  scheduler task and the FE-user will have to wait a cron-
cycle.
