Someone has indeed: https://github.com/rexim/org-cliplink
It's designed around a linux system, but I am using it just fine on my mac. If you are not on either of those OSs it might still be a good starting point. Alternately/additionally, if you are on a mac, https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-mac-link.html has similar functionality. I use both of these regularly.
Cheers,
