Is it possible to copy an “internally defined node” as an hda, so I can modify it as a new digital asset?
For example, I would like to create a modify a dop network - add new parameters and run scripts from an altered interface. However, when I view a dop network instance in the asset manager, and right click, “copy” does not show up as an option. It shows up as an “internally defined node”, so I'm wondering if you can't copy one of those as a new asset.

Edit: Strike that, you said “internally defined” I read “Embedded”. Oh, that's a different story. What you want is to create a HDA [www.sidefx.com] (Houdini Digital Asset), you put the node inside your own and thus gain control of the behavior of it.

wyhinton1you can directly copy HDAs under different type name, change UI, content, etc... using Asset Manager
Is there still not a better way to do this? Wrapping the HDA in a subnet is hardly a solution for more complex HDAs.
wyhinton1ROP Alembic Output SOP is not a HDA, it's node written in C++ using HDK, you can't edit those and it's not that surprising no software allows you to do that unless you have a source code
ROP Alembic node, but cloning the interface for the entire ROP alembic hda to my subnet seems ridiculous.
cloning the UI from internal nodes is just 2 clicks or click+drag from From Nodes section
