Hi Andy,

I have added your requested menu item "Add as Import" in BaseX [1].
The feature, as implemented right now, feels a bit dodgy, because it
does many things in one place (parsing a file, extracting things,
building a string, adding it to the editor), and I haven't checked all
possible error cases yet. But after all it cannot cause any real
problems.. I decided to add the import statement at the cursor
position. It's probably the most flexible solution as long as we don't
do real parsing.

Cheers,
Christian
