<p dir="auto">this is <strong>really</strong> cool. I'm just trying it myself. Not entirely sure what you mean by "References". Could you spell this out in greater detail?</p>
<p dir="auto">For anyone wanting to try this out: you might want initially at least set the action to move stuff somewhere or at least not delete permanently until you're happy that everything looks like it should.</p>
