Powerclip is a popular feature that allows you contain one object inside another. Once you have a PowerClip on the page, pressing the <CTRL> key and clicking on the object will enter edit mode. Once in edit mode, if you hold the <CTRL> key and click on the desktop area you will exit editing mode and return to your entire document.

You are correct!
PowerClip essentially hides the portion of an object that you do not want to use, it can be adjusted or revealed later.
