I would like to be able to minimize Heynote to the system tray and have a global hotkey that would allow me to copy a fragment in - let's say - an editor or browser and automatically create a new block in Heynote.

Alternatively, you can add parameters to the command line, for example: starting the program with the parameter: Heynote.exe -c it would take the contents of the clipboard and create a new block.

I can see the usefulness of that, but I think it's out of scope to include it as a functionality of Heynote itself. I don't think it's trivial to implement a solution that works on both Windows, Mac and Linux.

However, I believe it should be possible to achieve this outside of Heynote using things like AutoHotkey on Windows, and Applescript on Mac.
