Feature request: Pasting with OSC 52 (for e.g. terminal-based editors)

Related: #2946, #5823

It seems like a decision was made not to support pasting due to security concerns. This is understandable of course, but considering there are editors (such as micro) that actually use this functionality, it's also a bit disappointing.

Perhaps a middle ground would be to have the support but require the user to opt in in Windows Terminal settings?

FWIW, > help copypaste in micro gives this useful info:

* Kitty: supported, but only writing is enabled by default. To enable
  reading, add `read-primary` and `read-clipboard` to the
  `clipboard_control` option.

* iTerm2: only copying (writing to clipboard) is supported. Must be enabled in
  `Preferences->General-> Selection->Applications in terminal may access clipboard`.
  You can use Command-v to paste.

* `st`: supported.

* `rxvt-unicode`: not natively supported, but there is a Perl extension
   [here](http://anti.teamidiot.de/static/nei/*/Code/urxvt/).

* `xterm`: supported, but disabled by default. It can be enabled by putting
   the following in `.Xresources` or `.Xdefaults`:
   `XTerm*disallowedWindowOps: 20,21,SetXprop`.

* `gnome-terminal`: does not support OSC 52.

Well, there sure does seem like a lot of precedent for a setting that enables this behavior, when it's disabled by default. I can dig that. "Applications in terminal may access clipboard" sounds good to me, but we'll need to find something more succinct than that for the actual setting.

I'm thinking that this should be a per-profile, control-level setting.

Thanks!

This would be great. +1.

Copying text from tmux via OSC 52 is a common workflow and muscle memory always leaves me surprised when I paste something I didn't didn't just copy via tmux.

Wasn't sure where to upvote as it looks like linked bugs were closed.
