The grain of truth here is the original 1984 era clipboard logic that Squeak used only supported text copy/paste.  Perhaps it could have been upgraded
to oh say the 1986 logic that allowed for PICT graphics but Squeak never knew what to do with that.  

This was updated in the last decade to support copy/paste of UTF8 mostly because the Europeans hated losing their accented characters. 
Oh and you usually get TIFF data so you need to turn that into something Squeak would like, non-trival.  See Sophie Image Read Write Abstract classes.
