Version? ASM? OS? Catalog?

You can do amazing things with links.

O10 has copy and catalog commands.

If you are on O9 and want to extract archive logs without RMAN, google for the secret metalink Note 60545.1. It shows some of the PL procedures that manipulate these things.

Apologies if I didn't quite understand the question. Don't know about the second second question.
