No, it's not the chord track. It's already been said that this isn't in Sonar.
John's probably right about it not being in sonar, but there are quite a few things people think aren't in Sonar, yet they are. Also Sonar is flexible enough you can sometimes devise workarounds that do something similar.

I "think" what the OP is stating is that, after the fact, you can click a midi note (I assume in PRV), let's say a G3 and strike a note on the controller, let's say Bb3, and the note automatically is moved to the new pitch. I'm not sure that's any more efficient than click drag.
I think I'm still missing something. If you want a Bb3 and you're going to need to hit a Bb3 anyway, why not just hit a Bb3 in step record mode? Why pick up another note with a different pitch first? Is there some ability to, say, select a chord and then it gets deposited on the root note? Or is the "secret sauce" that the note you play acquires the velocity, duration, length, etc. of the note you clicked on? In that case, if it's step recording, with Sonar you specify the note characteristics for the step and when you play a new step, that note has the same characteristics. So that's probably not what you're after.
Or is the special feature that it is
not really like step mode in that it doesn't advance through steps, but you can pretty much click anywhere, play your keyboard key, and it deposits the note or notes you clicked on previously...sort of like a keyboard-driven copy and paste? Also curious...can you select pretty much any collection of MIDI notes, even chords or groups with offset attacks or whatever, and just plop them down as if they were pasted there?
My concern is that for a feature request to get traction, it's going to have to be spelled out pretty precisely or the bakers won't know exactly what it is you want. And now you've got me curious, too
