I presume you mean using the VNC console...

No, there's no support.   You need two things: a display driver that can 
pass the selection through dom0 to or from the guest and a user-space 
application in the guest that knows how to deal with the guest-side of 
that channel.   It's not beyond the ken of man, but it's not there.
One of the reasons it's not there is because it's not needed in a lot of 
circumstances.  If you're using a Linux/Unix guest then you can ssh to 
the guest and/or run X applications on the guest displaying on the 
machine you're connecting to.  If you're using Windows then you can use 
VNC or Windows Terminal Services on the guest.  The guest's VNC console 
tends to be relegated to emergency-only use.   That's not an excuse, 
that's just the way things seem to happen.
