Help me manage midi clips

[OreoSplitter]

I'm close to buying Reason but one think is holding me back. In caustic (an android app) I can save midi clips as patterns in banks. So I could have a couple different versions of a measure. In the sequencer just select from what bank and it would be there. Plus I could flip through the bank to see all the versionsame I have and select the one I want I want. This helped me out a lot like creating slight variations of measure to be on say a B section. Or i could just try new things but always have the original. I don't see anything like this in reason.
Maybe I don't need that option and can somehow use lanes or second instance of reason. I was hoping regroove was a midi clip bank but nope. There are 2 rack extension sequencer that kinda do this but that would be like replacing the nice sequence for a crap looking one. At which point why even use reason. The browser would be fine if I could preview in a window what the midi clip looks like before selecting on.
A lot of the time I create most of the songs content in one day. Those days are great. The it's a few weeks creating variations of everything and slapping it all together into a song. Any experienced users out there, hope you can help me u Der stand a good way to approach this where I can keep things organized, visual, and not flip through browser 1 by 1 until I happen to find yep, it was clip B2.

Studio one has layers pool browser. With promote layer I could have 4 version of the same measure and choose which one goes to the main one, the top one. The pool feature in the file browser shows different takes which I have not looked into much but it does show a preview. I could name A1 ABC AC AD B1 B2 where A and b are different measures each their own versions. Reason has no visual preview. I have to load each one until I get lucky. Using lanes I would have to mute and unmute. Collapsing lanes I don't think would push all unmute parts up. So I would see main track with muted parts I am not using. Bouncing would fix but it's more clutter keeping old lanes just in case. The layers system seems so much better as its never permanent but looks permanent collapsed.
I like rack extensions but this basic stuff. The more I look at other programs the new features in 9 aren't exclusive to reason. So we have missing basic functionality and updates are just matching what others already have.

You could use the Blocks mode: place all your clips in a Block, duplicate it as needed and mute/unmute the clips as you go. I'm not sure that's exactly what you're after though, better check for yourself:

Not sure I completely understand but have you looked at blocks? It sounds like you could use them to do what you want.
