Ability to use clip.exe like functionality in a remote ssh session using vscode server

[elasticdotventures]

The request is an enhancement for vscode server.
When working in a terminal connected to a remote host via ssh the ability to insert a file into my cut-paste buffer (in windows this is clip.exe)

In powershell I could do this:

ssh user@remote_host 'cat /path/to/remote/file' | clip.exe

When running in WSL bash (via Windows Terminal) I can simply do this:

cat requirements.txt | clip.exe

A mechanism to be able to manipulate my cut and paste buffer programmatically from a remote session (or an explanation how to do this if the functionality already exists)
