Bug Description:
RFE 5029432 : Provide a way of getting the action in TransferHandler.importData(...)

This was closed as a Duplicate of another bug which was fixed but did not fix this bug.

The comment from the Evaluator is: 'This action will only be provided for drag and drop
as it doesn't make sense and therefore isn't available for clipboard transfers.'

When doing a clipboard transfer import data needs to know if it was a copy or paste,
or a cut and paste in order to know to do a copy or a move.
 That is what the RFE was
asking for, with reasons written in the RFE.
 The RFE also specified a way of doing
this (storing the action in the Transferable placed on the clipboard).
