I don't believe so, mostly because the output of a command can be millions of lines long, so it's not kept in any kind of memory once it's printed out on the screen. If you want to save it, you need to do it yourself, eg:
And since those are so very rudimentary, the question of cut/paste really is not relevant.
As I've pointed out, the I/O redirectors can help you with some of this. As well as bash scripts.
You've asked a very general question. It is either hypothetical or you have a specific problem you're trying to solve. Which is it? Hypothetical or a specific problem?
There are some initial thoughts by myself and suicidaleggroll for the hypothetical side of things.
