X doesn't provide any mechanism for programs to exchange the contents of
independent text fields, so this isn't possible, unless you implement
your own protocol on both sides of the selection request. The most
similar mechanism is the Search Parameter Sharing Protocol, which has
languished over the years, in that its implementations are unreliable if
they exist at all.
Don't let the above deter you from implementing this, as such a protocol
would be a welcome addition if adopted by the popular toolkits.
