Something similar exists in Windows even now. But it is not the file that is copied, but the text with the design of the site or something else that makes the content unreadable. Using the Picking Clipboard function, you can immediately copy not just information, but file extensions: .docx – for text files, and also .tiff – for graphic files, in addition to the existing jpg, jpeg, png, html.
As noted, the clipboard with the declared function will appear in the browsers Chrome 98 and Microsoft Edge 98.
