Changes (by Eben):

  * priority:  low => high
  * summary:  Cannot open text snippets from the clipboard menu => Missing
              actions in clipboard

Comment:

 Well, "Open" is certainly a lower priority, though I think the
 functionality would be quite useful.  It is redundant, but it can make the
 process much quicker, providing it from anywhere rather than solely from
 the journal.  Perhaps I copy an image from the web.  I could then jump to
 the clipboard and pull up some "open with" functionality to pull it right
 into Draw, for instance.   This is actually better than the more general
 "Save to Journal", since it automatically associates the object with the
 activity I care about.

 That said, there is a much more glaring omission here.  This is a visual
 clipboard, and yet there's no mention of a "Paste" action.  This should be
 available whenever the current view supports pasting, and I would put this
 as a high priority item.  We can't assume shortcuts will be learned up
 front, and not everyone can manage drag'n'drop operations easily.

 Finally, once we have support for it, we may want some other actions such
 as "Send" to friend, "Print", and "Post" to bboard, but those are also low
 priority for now.
