FYI, you can bind org-capture command in your WM and use %k in your
capture templates:

org-capture-templates is a variable defined in org-capture.el.
...
The template defines the text to be inserted.  Often this is an
Org mode entry (so the first line should start with a star) that
will be filed as a child of the target headline.  It can also be
freely formatted text.  Furthermore, the following %-escapes will
be replaced with content and expanded:
...
  %x          Content of the X clipboard.

Best,
