Over the years I have come across several ways of doing this via third
party clipmate managers, freeform data bases such as Zoot, and as addins
for your browser. Its actually a very common feature, but its a
clipping feature rather than a pasting feature.
Here is one for firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4292
Select the text in Firefox, right click, choose "quote text" and past
into Lyx where it pastes the url as well as the text.
Indeed it will paste the text and url into anything.
There are some options on what is copied/pasted.
