Currently, the omnibox autocomplete on iOS has an entry for a link that you've copied. We should also show an entry if the user has copied text instead.

Also see bug 703076, which somewhat overlaps this one (in a way that can conflict).
@martijnb, @pschaffner. What do you guys thing about bug 703076. We could try to do that for omnibox, but I feel like it'd be confusing if it's everywhere we try to paste a link in.
I assume you're willing to follow the new-feature launch process for this? In addition to getting the usual approvals, we (omnibox team) will want to to run an experiment. Presenting these suggestions any time there's anything on the clipboard will distract the user from other zero suggestions and from starting typing. The value of this may outweigh the cost but we'll want to evaluate that.
