Only in Microsoft Windows, or in GUI applications that try to emulate
Windows behavior. And even then, the selection you're making isn't
generally text; it's files, or some other discrete objects, which you
will subsequently drag or "paste" into another file manager window,
which is understood to mean "copy these files to this other location".
