Yes. However...

What is it you're trying to capture? If it's repeatable, you can just redirect it to wgetpaste. For example:

wgetpaste < <(./some-command-that-does-stuff)

If you really want to go through the wgetpaste method, you'll need to write the copy buffer out to a file and then just wgetpaste the file. Check the man page for how to do this.
