The feature you want has existed in Legacy for years and many versions. However when users see the 5 source tabs on the Source Clipboard and then realize that these tabs *don't* provide what's wanted they don't look any further. You can actually have 10 different Source Clipboards and can select which you desire when needed. To set these up create a clipboard the way you want it then click the Save button, select a number (1 to 10) and give that source a name that's meaningful to you, and Save it. Repeat this for your other 9 clipboards with different sources. When you want to select one of these to use it, right-click on the (upward-pointing) blue triangle and it will allow you to select the source you want from your saved ones. Note that the 5 source tabs permit you to also have multiple sources saved ready for application, but in my over 20 years of sourcing genealogy I've never found a need for applying more than one source at a time for multiple entries -- thereby needing use of a clipboard. I've found that the 5 Source Clipboard tabs actually confuse users more than anything else in Legacy and help to hide the better feature.
