FWLIW the technical term for this behaviour is "Copy on Select".  I also miss it.  I've asked people inside Apple if it might be possible via arcane unpublished configuration, but it is not.   For various reasons it violates assorted usability guidelines and principles (eg CUA and its children) and is thus unsupported by (MS)Windows or OS X.
