How to put a single stack item to an album?

Question

Maybe a silly question, but I can't find out how to put a single item from a stack into an album. When I drag a stacked item to an album, the entire stack appears in the album. This is not what I want, I want to get the single item in the album.
I know I can make a single stacked item in an album to be the albumpick. But this is not enough. Sometimes I need to put two items from the same stack into this album.

It is as designed but I don't think what you want to do is a particularly wrong use of stacks. I can see using stacks as a way to reduce clutter in the browser but still wanting to be able to get to individual images in the stack to use..
What is interesting is the wording in the Aperture users guide concerning stacks:
Dragging Stacks
You can drag an entire stack to a new location, *and you can drag specific images within a stack to a new location*. When a stack is closed, dragging the stack moves the entire stack. *When a stack is open, you can drag individual images to new locations in the Browser*. You can also drag images into a stack. If you drag an image within a stack into a different project, however, the entire stack moves to the new location.
(emphasis added)
So the first part sounds like you should be able to drag an image out of the stack to an album, the second just mentions dragging an image out of the stack in the browser.
And in way you can do this, the only thing is what you end up doing is unstacking the image you drag out. Not exactly what you would want to do.
I think it should be OK to place individual stack items into albums and have them remain in the stack. Any reason this would be a bad idea?
