David, I live with my family in Springfield, Oregon about 2 miles from
a fire evacuation zone. That has complicated my life. :-)

Because there are a lot of unforeseen interruptions, I don't know when
I will be able to finish your script, although I hope I can get it
done tomorrow or the next day. In the meantime, I attach a couple of
scripts that should work around some of your issues. One is Append
Clip to Clipboard. The other is Clear Clipboard or Append Link to
Clipboard.  The first allows you to assemble a bunch of clips in the
clipboard. The other lets you do the same with links to notes.

Best regards,

Paul
