Restoring from archive?

Is there any way (or future plans) to "preconfigure" a new urbit using previously-archived content from another urbit?

use case I have in mind:

• Start a comet
• Look around, get acquainted, set up some profile details, join channels, etc.
• Archive content
• Finally get a planet
• Import the stuff from your comet so you don't have to re-find and recreate all the Urbit-exploration progress you made

I know onboarding is a high priority for the Landscape team, and I wonder if a project like this could get integrated into the tutorial, eventually. I can imagine a tutorial prompt a-la, "now that you've looked around a bit, click [this button] to enable snapshots, which you can use to quickly get back to where you were if you start a new comet or planet"

This is definitely possible to implement, and if it's something you are inspired to do then I will gladly merge any PRs moving in this direction.
