custom objects?

I'm a newcomer to Inkscape so apologies if this is obvious...  is it
possible to set up a bunch of "custom" objects?  i can do it by putting
them in a separate window and copying them, but it'd be handy to have
them tucked in below box, circle, star, etc.  i was thinking about this
because i just recently did that in visio {i think they're called "stencils"
there}.   thanks

{and kudos:Inkscape is  really quite amazing}
