Relink orphaned clone to a sibling

Bug Description

In the Inkscape Preferences dialog, section "Clones" there is a selection
"When the original is deletes, its clones", (a) "are unlinked" and (b) "are
deleted". I would like to see a third option that makes one of the
remaining clones the new parent when the original parent is deleted, and
links all other clones to it. (So that there is always one master object.)

Does http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes047#Command_for_relinking_clones sound like a solution to you? ;-)

I'm not the author of the bug but IMO the Relink to Copied is only a workaround.

The workflow would be improved if it would be done automatically, when you look at the options "unlinked" and "deleted" it seems natural to also have the option "relink".
