Yeah, just check if the text in the clipboard is a valid URL. I don't believe there is a specific format for URL's when copied to the clipboard (i.e., they will just be copied as text). Actually, the way the clipboard works is that items can be copied to the clipboard in their various formats. So, the URL might exist as both text and as, say, HTML in the clipboard. If you really want to know, give it a try... handle some event that inspects the clipboard and see what formats are in it, then see what data is contained in each format.
