Yes, the create command provide you with this ability, though at the end of the process you end up with a new object.
create new_object, old_object1 | old_object2 In some cases, new_object can be the same name as either old_object1 or old_object2: create old_object1, old_object1 | old_object2 Also note that the vertical bar (the "or" operator) is optional in recent betas, so create old_object1, old_object1 old_object2 becomes legal.
