[scribus] Copy and Paste into a text frame or story editor via clipboard from another application and retain font attributes?

Copy and Paste into a text frame or story editor via clipboard from 
another application and retain font attributes?
Okay I would like to do the above, is this possible ?
example if I have a PDF viewed in another application and if I highlight 
a range of text, copy it and then paste into a text frame or story 
editor only the text is seemingly brought across and all font/character 
attributes (font names, size of, Bold, Italic, Underline) seem to be 
ignored and lost. If there is quite a mixture of fonts and styles (for 
whatever reasons) then obviously it takes quite an amount of time and 
effort to re-apply the effects.
I have found a work around by copy and pasting into an ODT file (via the 
clipboard and it does not appear to lose anything) and then using the 
append text option on a text frame use the odt file.
Obviously there could still be limitations to handle gracefully like 
fonts used in the pdf that do not exist on the host system, but 
otherwise given you can copy and paste between frames should be a 
possibility ?
