how to org-refile-region?

Is there a way to automatically refile highlighted text under an
org-heading? i.e. to cut the highlighted text and automatically paste it
under the heading of my choice?

You could call it org-refile-region. Similar to org-refile, but to refile
not the entire subtree, but only the highlighted region under any heading
in the current document. Ideally this would offer me only headings in the
current document.

Here's a start:

Again, ideally this functionality would be independent of the org-agenda
files used by org-refile, so as to avoid displaying irrelevant headings as
possible targets.

Currently this is doable by doing:
1. select text
2. cut
3. other-window
4. navigate to desired target heading
5. paste text
6. other window

The proposed new function would make this much more efficient:
1. select text
2. org-refile-region
3. choose target

The most useful form of this would allow you to choose a target from among
any currently open documents. My use case involves selecting text from one
buffer and refiling it from among org-headings in another buffer, i.e.
moving text from a source document displayed in one window and refiling to
targets within the hierarchy of a target document displayed in another
window, like so:

Does anyone have ideas for how to implement?
