It is not possible to select a column in an annexe table (or in a table with joins) to copy it and paste it in another column (or better to paste from another application)

This can easily be achieved using the field calculator or the quick field calculation bar in top of the attribute table - if I understand correctly what you are trying to do. Could you elaborate why you think it would be useful to have a dedicated "copy column" functionality?

Possible with field calculator and refactor fields processing algorithm.
