I don't know about other platforms, but on linux the clipboard is
implemented in this 8kloc C file
https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/e0ce2d9d78c3c7b37bbc12cd8730c6a15f1f057c/opensmalltalk-vm/platforms/unix/vm-display-X11/sqUnixX11.c

e.g. getting the selection

>From the comments around the code I gather that the author(s) were aware
that images can be copied around in clipboard. Whether it actually works I
do no know.

(it would be if the clipboard-related code wrote itself into a nice
