I don't think a layer will actually end up in the clipboard. You could get keyframe data as text that way, but that won't even identify the layer it came from. I don't think it will do what you want, but I'd love to be surprised.

the copied text content is sufficient for my needs. However if not, another solution is to copy the reference (ctrl+alt+c) of a layer property, if you paste it into some text editing area, you will see the reference to the layer in the text data. like comp("name").layer("name").transform.position for example.
