RTC 2.0 Move/Copy work items

I'm looking for information relative to the new Move/Copy WI's between projects enhancement in RTC 2.0. I didn't see any thing in the pre-release 2.0 info-center.

In IBM's internal use only SCM called CMVC, there is a feature called Family-2-Family which allows defects to be opened in a project in one family (a family is analogous to a JTS instance) and then transfer the defect to another project in another family. This actually opens a defect in the target (transferred-to project). A linkage remains between the two defects in the separate projects in the different families.
A simple use case would be for a tester to open a defect DA1 in ProjA in FamilyA. Triage of this DA1 defect uncovers an issue with a dependent library in a different project called ProjB in FamilyB. Family-2-Family allows this defect to be transferred to ProjB in FamilyB which opens a defect in FamilyB called DB1 against ProjB. DA1 remains in a transferred state while defect DB1 gets resolved. The family-2-family linkage will then transfer the DB1 defect back to ProjA in FamilyA and transition defect DA1 verify state where the tester can test the fixed library. Both defects can then be closed by validating defect DA1.

Does move/copy have any linkage between the two work items? Does the JTD Cross-Server Communications allow move/copy between projects on different Jazz Team Servers?

Copying a work item from one project to another will establish a 'Copied
From' link to the original work item. You also have the option to resolve
the source work item at the same time.

'Move to project area' is actually moving the work item, so no second
instance is created.

Moving or copying work items between different servers is currently not
yet supported, but tracked in
