At first glance, it might seem that mouse selection (cut&paste) required the terminal emulator to be bidi aware, but I am not sure, whether this is true.
In xterm at least, the application (or an intermediate luit-like filter) can intercept mouse activity and can almost implement its own cut&paste functionality. Perhaps what should be done here is to review these mechanisms whether they are sufficient for a complete application-side cut&paste implementation (this would have advantages not only for bidi but also for other issues in Unicode editors). In particular, there might be a need for a new ESC sequence with which the application can write a UTF-8 string into the UTF8_STRING selection buffer (for example as the result of an application-supported mouse selection).
