Is it possible, yes.
Is it likely, absolutely not.
One of the reasons for Tinycore is you get to pick and install
the extensions you want, instead of having to remove extensions
that come prepackaged and you don't want.
If you feel you need "tiny core deluxe" because installing extensions
is too much work, then maybe Tinycore is the wrong distro for you.
There are other distros available with multiple apps preinstalled.

It already has copy/paste.
To copy, using the mouse, highlight the text with the left button held down.
If you then click the middle button, it will paste the text in the terminal
at the current cursor location.
Or, if you left click in an editor, then click the middle button, it will paste the
text in the editor at the current cursor location.
You can copy/paste from an editor to a terminal the same way.

It's not possible on touchpad.
GNUser:
Hi Rich. The select-to-copy, middle-button-to-paste is a great feature. X11 called it "primary selection." I'm happy to say labwc kept it.
The feature may be absent from GNOME and Firefox soon, though, because it is "unexpected." And, you know, "Goodbye X11" and all. https://itsfoss.com/news/gnome-firefox-middle-click-paste-removal
I'm chomping at the bit to live in the GNOME utopia where nothing from yesteryear remains, where everything is shiny and new.
Leee:
I think something similar to the "Tiny Core Deluxe" idea can be achieved simply through the use of alternative "onboot.lst" files to load sets (collections) of extensions to achieve the desired level of deluxity. If that functionality is sufficient for what you have in mind then it's already there and is highly customizable right from the start.
@Rich - is it possible to specify multiple extension lists (at the same time) right from the boot loader? So that you could specify, for instance, a base onboot.lst (common to all configs) -and- a desktop.lst or a web_server.lst etc to set up for a specific task? Just thinking out loud on this - it doesn't seem all that hard to just load additional extensions after the initial bootup.
