Well, for a start much simpler idea -- some switch (copy text) to switch KDE into copy text mode, then click on the widget --> titlebar, button, you name it. After click the text is copied to the clipboard. Not perfect but it is much better than manual copying.

USECASES (what you have to do without this feature):
a) you want to copy some number from the table, but the table is static and the only way is to make a screenshot (image) or retype those manually 

b) you are explaining how to use program, but you cannot copy labels from buttons, so you have to retype all labels manually 

c) you want to send reference to some page, program, whatever, but you cannot copy the title, because they are static
