Integrate mail merge with opportunity creation

[#1]

My organization uses ACT differently than most (I think) so I am not sure how much utility this would have for most folks.

We track contacts with customers on a very granular level.  When we send out a wave of marketing, we track every company that the marketing wave touches, via creation of a new opportunity for each company that was contacted.

To make that work, we had an addin customized, so we could very quickly generate multiple opportunities based on a model opportunity and the lookup that the mail merge was based upon (the addin copies the model but fills in details from the lookup)

Could Sage build in that option?

Also we bought another plugin that allows us to update multiple opportunities at once (useful for us, since we generate tons of opportunities).  That also would be useful to have built in.

Thanks!

The ability to automatically trigger a new activity when changing the sales stage of an opportunity would also be extremely useful.
