That actually works on my Windows gvim: In normal mode: highlight some
text, move mouse to some place and press middle button: stuff that was
highlighted gets pasted.

Also, highlight some text in normal mode, hit "<esc>", go to some other
place (perhaps using ijkl keys), hit "p" (to put the highlighted text at
current location).
