In a project plan, is it possible to select multiple cells and copy the values so I can paste them into a document?
Reasoning: I may want to talk to my team about multiple tasks in a meeting. I want to be able to copy the WBS and Short Description of the tasks so I can quickly add them to my meeting agenda.
This is a regular process that I have used within Smartsheet.
My current workaround is the following:
1. Export project to Excel
2. Sort by WBS (A ->Z) column
3. Copy the WBS and Short Description fields
4. Paste the field values into my meeting agenda

Sadly, I think that the technique you described is "as good as it gets".
I tried "copy cell" without success, it seems as though the clipboard isn't populated by the copy cell function.
Even when I tried "ctlr & c" I get nothing.
