You can RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON on the name of any feature with the "->" symbol and choose LIST EXTERNAL REFS Then you can choose LOCK (temporary) or BREAK (permanent), to break the dynamic link between the seed and the derived part. Hope this helps!
There are some options to include those sub-features. I can't remember the exact workflow but try this: 1. Try using the option to "break link to original part" - this will definitely work, but unfortunately you lose the link back to the master model, so this might not be a good solution for you 2. Try the different methods of adding a body to another part - "RMB>INSERT INTO NEW PART" and "go into a new part, then INSERT>PART" and "INSERT>FEATURES>SAVE BODIES". Each of these techniques has different sub-settings, and one of these probably has tools to help with the sheet metal features transfer. Good luck and comment back if you find a solution - I'm curious too!
Once you make that new part and it has the "->" symbol (external ref), what's the easiest way to remove the external ref (->) from the part?
