[FCP-L] Cannot "Media Manage" a subclip?

Here's what I want to do...

I have a very long master clip and a much shorter subclip. I would
like to make a new master clip from the subclip, associated with a new
media file containing only the media needed AND I don't want to lose
the original, longer media file.

Seems simple, but FCP simple won't do this. It goes through the
motions, but the subclip remains a subclip and remains linked to the
original. No new copy.

I believe the only workaround is to cut the subclip into a sequence
making an "affiliate" clip and then media managing the affiliate clip.

Is this really my only option? Has this been "fixed" in version 7?

Cheers,
tod
