    Instead of opening the application manually, you could build a workflow that opens the application for you and then does the copying

    Or, you could use Quickeys. Quickeys can trigger from all kinds of events, including applications starting. It would be trivial to do what you want with Quickeys. It does cost money though, but it works well.
