I've used a library called 'ClipBoardUtils' that I found somewhere on the internet a while ago. Two functions:  getClipBoardText & setClipBoardText . Only works for a client on Windows, but if that is your environment, it would be a breeze to use script to grab the column value of the selected row in the view and stuff the value into the windows clipboard. If you are unable to locate the code, let me know and we can find a way to share it.

BTW, just looked in the code and I see that it was written by Dallas Gimpel in 2004 - so thank you Dallas! this code has been very helpful to me for several years!
