There is indeed the phenix.cut_out_density tool (by Tom Terwilliger) which does a nice job of reducing the size of the output mtz-file (it shifts the cutout region to the origin and reduces the unit cell). On the link-versus-attachment issue, certainly the link is preferred, but the aforementioned

Colleagues, One recurring question on this bb is "I got this blob of density - is it my ligand or what in the name of pink unicorns this is?" Often, a screen snapshot is posted, which is very helpful. But it may be better if those helping out could rotate density around in 3D. Understandably, p
