Add ability to add current, open data tables to current Project file without requiring save and re-import

[RatioHedgehog10]

What inspired this wish list request? While attending a training put on by the JMP User Support team (Clark Ledbetter), I noticed that JMP Projects seem a good way to keep various analyses organized and separate.  However, if the analysis is still evolving (i.e., taking in new data), it requires a data table to be saved before being dragged-and-dropped from Windows Explorer into the project.  Updating data tables currently-housed in the Project (e.g., using the Update Table function) is impossible without so many workarounds that render it impractical.

What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to be able to designate tables (via the Home Window or other means) to be included in a Project.  I would also like the Project data tables to be able to interact normally with other data tables currently open in JMP (the assumption being that the new merge/updated table should be able to be easily made a part of the Project as well).  

Why is this idea important?  JMP Projects' use are currently limited to after-the-fact organization of data and graphs for documentation and presentation.  The ability to interact more seamlessly with currently-open (but not yet saved) data tables would allow the use of Projects for currently ongoing analyses as well.  I often find myself multitasking with many similarly-named data tables open at one time; the ability to stick them into different projects as I am working on them would be a big boost to my ongoing work organization. I am sure I am not alone in this regard. 

I am using JMP18.1.1.

There exist multiple ways to move (unsaved) data tables into projects:
- newly generated data tables are automatically generated within the project.

- tables can be moved into a project via 

Besides USING a data table inside a project, you can also STORE the data table right in the project - just grab it in the Workspace area and drag it into the Content area:

Another way to store the data table in the Project: click on the standard Save icon - but from within a project,

Then you will see a special menu where you can select the option to store the data table inside the project:

Thank you for sharing this request As @hogi mentioned in the comments, there is some existing functionality that I believe fulfills at least part of your request. Let me know if those features are helpful.
