Do you mean "copy a rectangle so that `C-x r y' can insert it"? Or do
you mean "copy a rectangle so that `C-y' can insert it"?
If the former, this should do the job:
(defun copy-rectangle-as-kill (beg end)
"Copy rectangular region into `killed-rectangle', but don't delete it.
The rectangle can then be yanked via \\[yank-rectangle]."
(interactive "r")
(setq killed-rectangle (extract-rectangle beg end)))
