Modeling - Multiple part copy/share

This may sound like a weird request, but here we go:

I would like to see the "Create Copy" and "Create Share" commands (under "Part & Assy") have a "copy multiple" option similar to "Modify-Move-Multiple" is Drafting. This will allow very fast creation of multiple parts simply by defining destination points. Here's some background:

The models we work on at our company sometimes require us to assembly many of same part over and over again in the same model. If you use the "Part & Assy"- "Creat Copy" or -"Create Share" command, you can select the source and then use the many options to define the position.

However, if want to do this multiple times, you have to go back and select your source each time or use the newly created copy or share (even if you use the next-option). You can use the "linear" or "radial" commands, but this is only useful if the parts are evenly spaced.

If you need to place parts that are not evenly spaced, you have to manually define the source, start point, and destination point each and every time. We have to do this dozens of times on some of our models, requiring hundreds of mouse clicks.
