Taking one step back, in my ideal world, Safari would just let me do the
following without expiring the user gesture:
// Works in Chromium, throws in Safari…
const { data, type } = await getDataOfUnknownType();
const blob = new Blob([data], { type });
navigator.clipboard.write([
new ClipboardItem({
[blob.type]: blob,
}),
]);
