Comment/discussion IDs retained when copying between editors

Hey !

I'm using PlateJS comments/discussions and noticed that when content containing comments is copied from one Slate/Plate document and pasted into another, the original commentId / discussionId references are retained.

As a result, resolving the copied comment in the new document also resolves the original comment in the source document.

Expected: When copying between independent documents, source-specific comment/discussion references should either be removed or remapped to new IDs.

Is there an official/recommended way in Plate to strip or remap comment/discussion metadata during copy/paste? Is there an existing issue or implementation for this?

Thanks!
