You can use screen bindkey.  Adding the following into ~/.screenrc,
the xsel serves the same purpose as the xclip and you may also change
the option to use clipboard instead of x selection.

# set the second mark, write to the screen-exchange
# file, and use xsel to synchronize the paste buffer
# with the X selection.
bindkey -m > eval "stuff ' '" writebuf "exec sh -c 'xsel < 
/tmp/screen-exchange'"
bindkey < eval "stuff ' '" "exec sh -c 'xsel -o > /tmp/screen-exchange'" readbuf
