Is it an easy way to transform an element in other of different type without loose the relationships?

I have a model containing a Signal Intermediate Event: Catching which is connected to several elements, but I want to change this event for a Message Intermediate Event: Catching. Is it an easy way to do that without remove the event, create the new one and manually create the relationships?
