Script to copy Layer/Group to another Open Document?

Hi, I know this topic has been covered many times before. But to clarify, here's what I'm wondering:

 

Copy the active layer/group to another open document in Photoshop. The simple way is to go to "Layer/Duplicate Layer..." . But this is very tedious. For starters, when you choose that method, and then select the document that you'd like to copy to via the pull-down menu, it successfully copies the layer/group to that document, but it doesn't auto-switch (activate) to the document it was just copied to. You have to hit "Ok", and then manually search through the open documents list via (Window/*choose your document*) to get there. This is a nightmare when you're trying to do this many times.

 

Here is what I am wondering:

 

Is it possible to:

 

a) copy the active layer/group to the clipboard/memory

b) switch to another existing document in Photoshop *via a custom menu* which shows all existing documents

c) once switched to the new existing document, paste that layer/group from the clipboard into that document

 

 

 

..is that possible?

 

At the very least, are there any scripts that anyone knows of that allows the user to switch between existing documents via a custom menu instead of going to Window/*choose your document* ?
