But are we sure this is true for Mac users?

The only way I was able to create an APT at all was using your method where I first generated a WAV, and copied it elsewhere on my hard drive and then imported it back into BIAB as an APT. That's not faster... that is several steps beyond just creating a WAV.

I'll take another look at it, but since the Mac version has nothing in the PDF or in the GUI guide about this, I really wonder if you are describing a feature that Mac users don't actually have fully implimented. I would like to try this and see exactly what happens if I create several APTs and get a grasp on the benefits you are suggesting.
