The Elpa package xclip uses that.

  ;; This package allows Emacs to copy to and paste from the GUI clipboard
  ;; when running in text terminal.
  ;;
  ;; It can use external command-line tools for that, which you may need
  ;; to install in order for the package to work.
  ;; More specifically, it can use the following tools:
  ;; - Under X11: `xclip' or `xsel' (https://xclip.sourceforge.net and
  ;;   https://www.vergenet.net/~conrad/software/xsel/ respectively).
  ;; - MacOS: `pbpaste/pbcopy'
  ;; - Cygwin: `getclip/putclip'
  ;; - Under Wayland: `wl-clipboard' (https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard)
  ;; - Termux: `termux-clipboard-get/set'
  ;; - Emacs: It can also use Emacs's built-in GUI support to talk to the GUI.
  ;;   This requires an Emacs built with GUI support.
  ;;   It uses `make-frame-on-display' which has been tested to work under X11,
  ;;   but it's not known whether it works under MacOS or Windows.
