Sorry, but the clipboard doesn't work the way you think it works. In general
one doesn't know when something gets pasted. On X11 an application sets the
clipboard content and another application reads it - the setting application
doesn't know that it got read. This makes your use case impossible.
On Wayland clipboard works different by being a direct communication between
the pasting and providing application. There one could say the copying client
is informed, but in fact it isn't. Because the pasting client takes a copy of
the data and on next paste it uses the already retrieved data. Overall your
idea is just impossible to implement with the two platforms we have.
