You mean add the existing "insert automation item" action to the main Insert menu? Yes. Er, maybe. Will think about.

alt(opt)-drag, as you've probably already found out. The next build will have more options for exactly what happens here (make pooled/unpooled copy of selected automation item, create new automation item).

I can't reproduce this! Could you attach your reaper.ini and reaper-mouse.ini files please?

What is it you want to do exactly? If you want to extend the automation item by collecting the underlying envelope points into it, that's ctrl(cmd)-drag by default. If you want to extend the existing contents without looping, like extending an unlooped media item, set the automation item to be unlooped (automation item properties, you can also set them unlooped by default in preferences) and just drag the edge.
... actually, I think you are talking about how, if you extend an unlooped automation item, the extended section can't be edited unless you glue it. The reason for this is to support pooling; imagine that you had two pooled automation items, one looped and one unlooped; if you were able to extend the unlooped item and edit the extended portion, that would affect the looped item in unpredictable ways. You could think of how two pooled (ghost-copied) MIDI items behave, as an analogy. Having said that, we can add a mouse modifier or option for this behavior.
