I don't know of one that will work across all applications. Some apps may have a paste verb or insert clipboard verb in their Applescript dictionaries, but the syntax will vary from app to app, even among those that have one at all.
My guess is that the service you describe is using some Objective-C code rather than Applescript to insert its text. To do what you want with Applescript without one of the methods I posted above, you would have to find a scripting addition (a.k.a. an OSAX) that provides the necessary capabilities and install it. I don't know what, if any, scripting additions exist that will work for you, but at any rate you're on your own as far as I'm concerned if you try that route.
