How to automatically insert a comment link when you copy paste content?

I’d like to know how to create an automated action on my blog so that whenever somebody tries to copy content out of it via ctrl-C, when they hit ctrl-P they will get a comment and a link along with the info copied.

Thanks for the link. I understand what you’re hoping to achieve now. This function does require a plugin, which isn’t allowed at WordPress.com. However, you can utilize it on a self-hosted site via WordPress.org.
