Dear List,

currently, I have to compose technical documents with a lot of source code in it. 
There're readers demands for a way to copy&paste this source code directly from 
those documents into their terminals. I tried ConTeXt’s attachment functionality, 
it is … ok. But most people don’t like files attatched to PDFs. Moreover, they must 
open it in an editor before getting contents in terminals. So,

normally a viewer is quite restricted out of security reasons

is there any possibility in ConTeXt/Lua a document reader can click on a source 
code statement and the content of an external file (the plain code, without any 
typesetting) will be loaded into the clipboard, so that they can paste this 
plain source code into their terminal programs to use it directly?

here is an option (the last examples need an upcoming beta as i added better space support for verbatim comments)

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\starttext

\startbuffer[a]
for i=1,10 do
    print(i)
end
\stopbuffer

\typebuffer[a]

currently: \comment{\cldcontext{buffers.getcontent("a")}}

\blank

hacked: \comment{\cldcontext{string.gsub(buffers.getcontent("a"),
    "\string\r","\string\n")}}

\blank

new, space honored, still hack: \comment[space=yes]{\cldcontext{string.gsub(buffers.getcontent("a"),
    "\string\r","\string\n")}}

\blank

new, buffer honored: \comment[buffer=a]{}

\blank

idem: \comment[space=yes,buffer=a]{}

\stoptext

\definefallbackfamily[mainface][serif][texgyrepagella]
\definefontfamily[mainface][sans][texgyrepagella]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]

\starttext
