I'm not sure about the vo documentation, but for the most intuitive way is:
- open >1 windows in vim with :split
- close the other (bottom) instance with ,,1 and G to the bottom of my
outline file, where there is a piece:
"...
Hoisting and indent manipulation
	// === Hoisting start ===
	// === Hoisting end ===
..."
- open this sandbox and dd the desired lines manually from the top
window and yank into the bottom one
- maintain their indentation one-by-one

So in short, here I fall back to good-old vi features, and am happy with it.
I don't need anything specific from vo.

(Sorry to say, but the same issue compared Norton Commander with MS
Explorer: you have only one window instead of the two predefined
panes, but you can start arbitrary number of them. So what seems to be
a constraint for the first sight, is actually more flexible... :o)

Have a nice day,
