Insert new items into interactive rebase process

When beginning a rebase process, the list of actions are in the top panel of the rebase window. Right-clicking these actions allow to choose 'pick'/'skip'/'edit', and I can rearrange the items with the up/down buttons, but I can't add new items to the sequence.

I would like to be able to right-click in the list area, and see a context menu item, something like "add patch", which would then allow me to select a particular patch, and add a new 'pick' item to the rebase action list.
This will allow to perform an unrelated cherry-pick within the interactive rebase sequence.

It would also be useful to right-click a rebase action, and choose something like "duplicate action", which would add a copy of it into the action sequence. This is useful when wanting to break a single patch into multiple patches; it will appear twice in the interactive rebase, and the first would be an edit, allowing to remove the parts that should appear in the second 'pick'.
