Let me include this bit also from bug #9361. It offers a bit more in the way of
suggestion for the requested enhancement.
> The individual commands (`chmod' etc.) would have available,
> either (a) as default value (mentioned above) or (b) on-demand
> via a different minibuffer key from `M-n', the pertinent part
> of the copied info.
>
> E.g., for command `chmod', it is the file permissions part of
> the copied info that is pertinent, so (only) that would be used.
> For command `touch', it is the mod time of the copied file info
> that is pertinent, so that would be used.

> Whatever the last type of special copy, the `Paste Special' pastes
> that to its target.)
