That sounds like a good avenue to pursue.. thanks!

From within zle, it looks like you can do something like

  zle copy-region-as-kill <string>

to populate the cut buffer/kill ring.

But then you have to do that from a user-defined widget again.

I think having an API in zsh/zleparameter might be better..
will look into that at some point.
