How can I access the copy buffer on the web?

Question

Wild question here.

Is it possible to access the copy buffer on the web. What I mean is. Can I go into Photoshop. Select a piece of a photo. Copy that piece and paste it into some element.

That something would be like a Java applet or Flash or Silverlight or anything. I am just wondering if it is possible and if someone could point me in a direction. Since a few google searches have only found where you can copy files and paste via a Java applet.

You should perhaps look into this article about granting Javascript access to the clipboard. Do some testing afterward, to check if you can access the data or not.
