I was thinking about this at work today.  I think this dialog is probably 
modular/reusable enough that the new code could just create an instance of it 
from wherever it is, and then query its widgets afterwards to obtain the 
necessary data.  It might be a drop-in already, or might require just a 
little tweaking to make it so, but I don't think it will be as complex as I 
thought yesterday.

I'm thinking of some kind of interface paradigm with a "Convert Part from 
Instrument X to Instrument Y" (except worded differently, surely) option 
somewhere.

Basically you somehow dial up what the segment is now, and where you want it 
to go, by name.  It would need to be clever about figuring out what kind of 
segment it already was, or what kind of segment it was trying to become.  I'm 
not quite sure on that.  Needs thought.
