A way to copy the block clipboard to the system/mouse copy/paste buffer would be extremely useful

It would be handy to be able to paste copies of multiple blocks into other applications, like editor buffers, Notion outlines, and other websites! Copying the contents of the block clipboard to an external format (for pasting into other applications) would provide a kind of way to export the contents for preservation, and the opportunity to re-import the contents in the future. (This would be even more useful if you could select all the blocks on a page, and all the blocks on a collection of pages, for copying and exporting.)

This would involve:

• A knob associated with the blocks clipboard – maybe an option in a right click menu?
• Externalization of the contents for pasting into other applications, like browsers apparently do for rendered HTML.
• Recognition of the exported format and automatic internalization for when it is pasted into an fresh block.
  • By making the externalization format like what browsers do for mouse-copied HTML, you could leverage the provisions that I've heard are already available for pasting HTML content to Volto. (Because of that provision I expect that much of this functionality is already present.)

This would further extend Volto's external interoperability.

@kenmanheimer This add-on may help you with that https://github.com/eea/volto-spotlight

Ping to @razvanMiu to fix the README of that add-on 😄
