Preserve Original Object Metadata When Copying (office PowerPoint, etc.)

Hello!When copying structured components from applications such as PowerPoint or other Office software, especially tables, grouped vector shapes, SmartArt, or other composite objects, ClipBook currently pastes them as flattened raster images (pixel-based bitmaps).This behavior significantly reduces usability in workflows that rely on editable content. For example, when copying:Tables with structured rows/columnsGrouped vector graphicsSmartArt elementsEditable shapes or text boxesThe pasted result becomes a static image rather than retaining its original object structure and metadata. As a result, the content can no longer be edited, resized without quality loss, or manipulated as native objects in the target application.Expected Behavior:ClipBook should preserve the original clipboard metadata and object format (e.g., vector data, structured table data, application-native object types) whenever possible. Ideally, users could:Paste content back as fully editable native objectsChoose between "Paste as original format" and "Paste as image"Retain vector fidelity instead of automatic rasterizationThis would greatly improve compatibility with Office workflows and make ClipBook more suitable for professional use cases involving presentations, documentation, and design-heavy content.This feature would be particularly valuable for users who frequently work with structured visual components rather than plain text.I have referred to https://clipbook.app/blog/rich-text-and-figma-objects-suppor…. But it does not help.Thank you for considering this enhancement.
