If your Javascript function makes a call to the clipboard, then that
clipboard data is indepent of the session (and of the browser for that
matter). The only problem with this is that not all browsers will allow
you to easily access the clipboard.

* IE 6 allows clipboard access no problem.
* IE 7 will prompt the user as to whether the browser should allow
clipboard access for the page
* Firefox does not allow access, unless the request is made by a a
signed script.

Depending on what you know about your users (browser type, etc), you
could try to go the javascript route, or the generic "store and
retrieve" route you were talking about on the backend.
