Maybe this should be more detailed. Adding the native right-click menu of chromium is easy, but that would be out of place.

Maybe a re-placement of the right click menu would be better. Just shooting out ideas.

I just want to point out that using middle click (instead of right click) for copying/pasting is very common on Linux (and it works inside youtube-music, tested on Hyprland)

Arch Linux wiki page about it https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Clipboard#Disabling_middle-click_paste
Hyprland misc:middle_click_paste (wayland compositor) https://wiki.hyprland.org/FAQ/#how-to-disable-middle-click-paste
Firefox middlemouse.paste https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firefox#Middle-click_behavior
Chromium has middle click paste enabled by default and has no option like firefox does (afaik)

So having some sort of middle-click-paste plugin is another possible alternative.

Or you could use AHK on Windows to remap middle/right click to ctrl-v when inside the youtube-music application.

Actually, right click the mouse to Copy and Paste is quite common in Windows, rather than Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V on the keyboard, or 3rd party app, please consider.
