Send to Location

The 'Send to Location' trait adds a menu entry to a piece's right-click menu.  Selecting that entry will transport the piece to a particular location on a Map.  If no Map is selected, the piece is sent to that location on its current map.  If a board is specified, the location is relative to that board.  Otherwise, it is an absolute location in the map window.  The piece will be combined into a Stack with any pieces at the location, if applicable.

EXAMPLE:
A game may require that damaged units are returned to their home base for repairs.  A game piece may be given a 'Send to Location trait with name 'Return to Home' and command CTRL-H and location corresponding to the base's position on the map.
