An idea for an open source repository.

Would it be useful if I created a JavaScript library (a repository on GitHub) to detect the source or application from which a clipboard item was copied or cut? For example, when I copy or cut something from Excel or Word, whether from the desktop app or the online version. Relying on MIME types from the clipboard item is not enough to determine the source application. Do you have a need for this or have you ever encountered issues with detecting the source of clipboard content? I'd appreciate any thoughts or feedback.
