Si et al, Si, are you copying these quotes from an imbedded PDF or from somewhere else?
A code pattern I have being using when copying from tiddlywiki to the clipboard, I built my own button and also copy the content to a temp tiddler, this then becomes a tiddlywiki clipboard you can paste from with a tiddlywiki paste button, or ctrl-v as the same content is in both (until another copy) But I understand your requirement is different, It could be said to Pull the content from the clipboard into tiddlywiki. The other code pattern I make use of is use ctrl-v to paste into tiddlywiki, drop also works. This then imports an untitled tiddler, after import I click on the untitled tiddler and a view template that only displays on tiddlers with the prefix "untitled" then provides options to handle the text there in. I have open implementation of this which detects if the text field has the prefix http: https: and file etc... and if so offer's to create an "external link tiddler". You could add to the second code pattern the first, thus gain ability to copy the content of the untitled tiddler to a tiddlywiki clipboard tiddler. I do not know if it is technically possible, but an action widget to retrieve the contents of the "system" clipboard would be ideal.
