If you implement your own menu items, or use the event structure, you can intercept the paste command. I don't think there is anything built in to read from the system clipboard, but I'm pretty sure there are VIs on developer zone to do so. You can read the text from the clipboard, read the focused object to ensure it is the table, read the selected cells, and insert the text into the table yourself. And in case you are asking if it will ever be built in, yes, I expect it to be there in a future release, but the current controls deal primarily with internal binary data and haven't expanded to deal with external clipboard data yet.
