All they are doing there is formatting the data in tab format so that it
clicks into Excel nicely when you copy it, and then they are handling the
paste from Excel based on change events. It's nice, for sure.

That's not the issue. The issue is whether you can *push a button* and have
JavaScript load or read the system clipboard. That is, whether JavaScript
itself can read the clipboard without user intervention (other than,
perhaps, initiating the process with a button click).
