Org mode already has a command that copies cell contents - `org-table-copy-region'. That command has a problem though - it uses a kludge with dynamic variable instead of copying to the kill ring. I think that we can modify `org-table-copy-region' to copy to the kill ring, adding text properties with cell info as metadata. Then, `org-table-paste-rectangle' can check for these text properties instead of relying upon `org-table-clip'. Would you be willing to work on such refactoring? -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
