When you select text with the mouse using a drag operating the contents
of the marked region get placed in a variable \v(select). Unfortunately,
there is no direct method to print the contents of a variable. What
you would need to do is write the contents of \v(select) to a file
and then print the file and then delete it.
All of these actions could be placed in a macro which would then be
assigned to a mouse drag operation.
