You could do it step-wise:
Kill a rectangle. set-mark-command (c-SPC) at one corner, kill-rectangle (C-x
r k) at the opposite corner. Then undo (C-_) if you don't want the
text to be lost.
Then go to the scratch buffer and yank-rectangle (C-x r y). Then do
whatever you normally do to highlight with the mouse etc to get it
into the primary selection.
Cheers,
Jonathan
