Implementing support for the global clipboard is quite involved which is
probably one of the reasons why so few applications support it. To make
life easier Select introduced the ClipboardHolder module, which provides
SWIs to copy data to/from the clipboard. Alleviating developers from the
effort of having tp implement the entire protocol themselves.

RISC OS 5 already has it's own support module (called Clipboard) which
also simplifies things through SWIs. See also:
