The Clipboard pin is not so good like the favorite implementation from KDE/plasma Clipper today. Nice will only be, to be able add either a comment or e.g. the source of the continent (webpage or document).

But why don't do a study with a number of persons on a prototype, to find out what will be the best solution.
