This question is similar to Transfer image clipboard between host and VirtualBox guest?

However, I want to know if there is ANY virtualization solution can do this. Answers to the above question suggest that VirtualBox cannot do this.

Also, I only care by Windows guests and Linux Hosts. More specifically, I want to copy rich text (text with hyperlinks and formatting) from Onenote running on Windows to Zotero running on the KUbuntu host. Also, I want to copy screen clippings from Spectacle in KUbuntu host to Onenote running on Windows guest.

    This is on the roadmap for Synergy, but its not there yet. Presently Synergy only transfers text between "monitors" on different machines. Virtualisation doesn't come into it. – Criggie Sep 10 '16 at 01:26
  • @Criggie Thanks. I never thought that Synergy could solve this problem. I am looking forward to the future releases of Synergy. The current version (1.8.2) seems to not properly copy hyperlinks -- the link is either lost or rendered as ... when copied across computers via Synergy. – Abhishek Anand Sep 10 '16 at 02:00

I am sure that VirtualBox is capable of transferring images copied to clipboard between guest and host when bidirectional keyboard is enabled. I have done something similar to what you are trying to achieve with OneNote running in a VM, except in my case it was with Evernote. I could easily copy image in host, paste it in Evernote and annotate it, and copy the annotated image back from guest os into host. I was running a Windows 7 virtual machine in Ubuntu 17.04
