Cannot paste video copied via wl-copy into most apps (Discord, Chrome, Firefox, etc.) #263

Description

@gre4kapi

When copying a video file into the clipboard using wl-copy, pasting it into various applications does not work.
wl-paste --list-types correctly shows the MIME type as video/mp4, but pasting via Ctrl+V in most apps results in no action.

Tested Applications:
Discord: nothing happens
Telegram: nothing happens
Chrome / Chromium / Firefox: nothing happens
Dolphin: shows a filename input dialog, then creates a file with that name - this is the only app where something happens at all
All tested apps were running in Wayland mode

System info: CachyOS (arch-based), KDE 6.4.1, Wayland, Nvidia 575
