MIME types in clipboard

It seems like an application framework should offer full clipboard powers:

  • Write various data types to the clipboard
  • Query MIME types available on the clipboard for pasting
  • Pasting various data types from the clipboard
  • Querying if the current application was the one to fill the clipboard
  • Clearing the clipboard
  • Register for callbacks when the clipboard is changed

The first three would be more useful than the last three.

Imagine being able to paste formatted text into a JUCE TextEditor, or an image into a component, or audio data from a DAW into a sampler!
