Destination-agnostic item-keeping UI for heterogenous digital items

A system comprising:

• one or more processing units;
• and
• a computer storage medium having encoded thereon computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processing units, cause the system to:
• store a plurality of items at a first location;
• receive a user selection of an item of the plurality of items;
• display an item storage interface control in response to the user selection of the item;
• receive a first user input at the item storage interface control indicating the selected item of the plurality of items for storage at a centralized location;
• in response to the first user input, generate an item alias representing content of the selected item;
• store the item alias at the centralized location irrespective of the first location of the selected item, wherein the first location of the selected item is unchanged in response to the first user input;
• receive a second user input at the item storage interface control selecting a user-defined location that is different from the centralized location;
• in response to the second user input, remove the item alias from the centralized location;
• and
• store the item alias in the user-defined location irrespective of the first location of the selected item, wherein the first location of the selected item is unchanged in response to the second user input.
