Is this possible?
e.g. by means of any WF variable accessible to VBA

Yeah, probably, but I don't know how. First, however, tell us: what is your segment protection level set to? I mean, if you press Ctrl+A while the cursor is inside the target field, does it select the entire file or only the entire target field? If the latter, then maybe you can record a simple macro that copies source to target, then selects all text and copies it, and then undo x 5, which should get you back your original target text.

Perhaps, you may want to check PandoraBox for (1) MacroPreSegmentation=_macro_name or (2) Machine Translation--WFMT

Also see SendKeys ^C, playing with False/True optional waiting parameter.

Note, that using something like
If Application.NumLock = True Then ...
may re-use the same macro with different results, as appropriate.

VBA Code to copy WFClassic source segment to the clipboard May 15, 2019

This is a solution I have tested as working and implemented.

Sub CopyWfSourceTextToClipboard()
Dim txt As String
CopyText (ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("WfSource").Range.Text)
End Sub

Sub CopyText(Text As String)
'VBA Macro using late binding to copy text to clipboard.
'By Justin Kay, 8/15/2014
Dim MSForms_DataObject As Object
Set MSForms_DataObject = CreateObject("new:{1C3B4210-F441-11CE-B9EA-00AA006B1A69}")

Thanks for your support.

Read the manual May 15, 2019

@Rossano, unlike wordfast.com or wordfast.net, the ProZ is but a translation-related forum.

As for copying the source segment, depending on your needs you may (1) check PandoraBox options, (2) simulate keyboard shortcuts (e.g. "^A" & "^C") or just (3) add a MT macro
Sub WFMT
Selection.Copy
End Sub

PB Setting May 15, 2019

I have set in the PB

MacroPreSegmentation=CopyWfSourceTextToClipboard

and after opening a segment in WF, I get the source text in the clipboard.

That is it.
