Brilliant.
Thanks to all for their suggestions. I am now extra-click free.
The winner is HOVtext. Its like someone designed an application just for me! And so easy to use; it just works straight away. I am forever wanting to "paste-special ...text" in all kinds of contexts and forever getting frustrated by the extra clicks etc.
I will use this tool alot.
