Research direction
Examine the repository's upload handling in the client side code (likely in a JavaScript file). Look for existing methods that accept files and integrate the clipboard API: listen for paste events, call event.clipboardData.items, use getAsFile() on items of type 'file', then invoke the upload function. Since the issue is from 2015 and the repo may be outdated, check if there are any breaking changes in Meteor or browser API support.
