The facilities that currently exist for customizing
selection-converter-alist and the data types returned for a conversion
from a string to any particular target are only designed for drag and
drop operations, unfortunately.  If you remind me of this report after
the 30.1 release (or maybe in a number of weeks) I will probably find
enough time to address it.  At the moment, I'm only willing to attend to
issues that affect new functionality introduced in Emacs 30, or
absolutely critical issues.

Sorry to disappoint.
