I want to save a copy of a component and its mirror. How do I change the mirror to reference the new component name?

Thanks

I'm not sure I follow. Did you use Derive Component with Mirror option to create the mirrored part?
 
Not the most elegant solution, but I think you could...

-Close all files
-Temporarily rename the original component
-Open the copied mirror component. Re-map it when prompted.
-Save and Close.
-Don't forget to rename the original component back to the correct name.
