Title Block cell question

I have a title block cell that has tags associated with it. I would like to put our north arrow, construction stamp, etc (also cells currently) into the title block cell so I dont have to put them in each individually everytime I set up a drawing. When I insert the new cell which contains all of the above and I go to drop it so I can take the stamps off I dont need, the tags in the title block also drop. Is there a way around this so I can bring everything associated with my title block in at the same time and at the same scale with out losing my tags in the title block? Thank you.

    When you drop a tagged element, the tags lose their dependent host.  MicroStation removes the orphan tags.

    You need an alternative approach that retains the title block cell while enabling you to remove optional content.  Reference attachments spring to mind: keep the title block as a tagged cell; attach, or don't attach, other content as references.
