Sometimes I have styled text on the clipboard that I would like to put into
a Markdown or HTML document. When I paste into any document, it appears as
plain text stripped of any style info.

Is it possible for a Textmate bundle to capture the paste and transform the
styled text to the syntax of the current buffer? E.g. styled text "This is
bold and this has a link" would paste into a Markdown doc as "This is
**bold** and this has a [link](http://example.com)" and into an HTML doc as
"This is <b>bold</b> and this has a <a href='http://example.com/'>link</a>".

If this isn't possible, is anyone else interested in having this feature in
Textmate or developing a system service for it?
