I want to be able to copy text to a “Copy Box”.

In early RTS you could bind units to number keys 1 through 10 by pressing Ctrl + # and then # to recall that selection.

I want to be able to have Multiple Copy & Paste boxes like Copy 1, Copy 2, Paste 3

Is there anything like this on Wayland already?

    Inside a particular text file, you can use a modern text editor - (Neo)Vim, Helix, probably others let you to copy/paste via named “registers” (places to store copied stuff). Select something, then "ay to copy into “a”, then "bp to paste from “b”.

      Wow that’s so cool, yes this is very similar to what I’m trying to do, copy to a predesignated “register” and then recall it, be it A B C or 1 2 3 …
