Is there an action or hacky way to restore the previous contents of your clipboard after running a workflow that pastes a string (determined by `{query}`) into your front-most app? Example use case: I use unicode-symbols-search ↗ to paste unicode symbols into my frontmost app using `uni {query}`. I probably most often use this to insert the symbol "↗" (lol) after link text to indicate that the text is a link, and then paste the destination link afterwards, but if I use this workflow (or any workflow with the "Copy to Clipboard" action), the pasted string overrides the link I had in my clipboard. Checking "Mark item as transient in clipboard" to true doesn't seem to have the behaviour I'm looking for. Is there a way (or action) to restoring previous clipboard contents after "Copy to Clipboard" action? Quick example of what how I imagine this working here ⤵ Any help would be appreciated! (And another image of my "Copy to Clipboard" settings in this workflow attached)

Hi, I want my workflow to open Sequel Pro and paste a SQL query directly in the query field (and, ideally, run it and export to CSV). As of now, it opens Sequel Pro and gets the query in the clipboard so that I only have to do CMD-V into Sequel Pro. However, I was wondering if there is a way to automate that last part - paste, run query, and export to CSV (all of which would run from inside Sequel Pro). Is this possible? EDIT: I've created the query in it's own SQL file so workflow now opens that file with Sequel Pro --> CMD-V part is solved. Still missing Run Query + Export as CSV
