Is there a mechanism already in place to handle this?
You could just redirect the command output to a file, then open the file

Everything in /dev is run by the kernel; when you write or read

That's a good idea. However, rather than /dev/X all you need is an X program

that you mention this I'm surprised someone hasn't done it.
I'm now filing a bug report against
I notice that dselect has offix-clipboard and there used to be a
xclipboard, but dselect doesent find it in stablr now. I haven't used
