I'm a little uncertain how you're trying to do this. Are you using a script?

In the upcoming release of 1.5.0, there are commands to separately copy
and paste objects, which means you can copy, go to another page, then
paste a copy.

I agree that trying to do complex things by editing the XML is not the
way to go.
