For the record, flaps are global drawer for objects. Supplies bin is a flap. So you can just drag objects from current project into it, open another project and copy them.

The only problem with that is the things I drag into the supplies bin do not persist between restarts of Etoys. Also to be clear you are suggesting dragging into the Supplies bin.
The other flaps I create and add to a project do not remain visible when I open a new project. I have created flaps for sets of objects, such as a set of cuisenaire rods and a number line, then copied the flaps to other projects as well but I see the advantage of using the Supplies bin, thanks.
FYI, the problem I am trying to solve is how to re-use artifacts (which can be a collection of related objects, usually contained within a playfield to make copier easier) in other projects.
Perhaps we could have a method where they could be shared amongst kids, so they could "send" each other objects and/or publish and retrieve them from a repository.
