Then yes, depending on the latency with which your clipboard manager
detects that something has been put in the clipboard, you might even
be able to remove the "<bar>call input(...)" portion so you don't
have to press <enter> for each entry.

The mapping takes the current line, splits it on <tab>s, iterates
over the desired positions (3,18,6), pulling out that value and, if
it has a non-zero length, stuffs it in the system clipboard [then
currently waiting for you to hit <enter>, but as mentioned, you might
be able to take that bit out].
