consistently and reliably across applications? I don't think so, which is  
a shame.

The clipboard APIs spec [1] draft has some idea about how it should be  
possible, in the same way as it should be possible to drag and drop things  
in a web application, to copy things like the external use reference, or  
the object itself, or various other possible things that you might choose  
when "selecting" and object. But that spec is languishing for lack of an  
editor.
