Vim has a better way, it's called :set clipboard=unnamedplus (alternatively, one can bind anything else to copy/paste to/from system cliboards). Not sure why would one use a mouse for this, honestly

I think if you want to copy a specific selection to a mouse-based, different program then it makes sense to use the mouse for precision selection.
