It's already working for a while, just copy (CTRL+C) and let paste (CTRL+V) pushed while moving cursor. That's the difference between paste and paste in place :)
I used this to create a smoke effect.

Interesting (accidental) effect:
Purely by accident I disabled the paste-in-place behavior of the selection function while doing some refactoring. Next time I moved my cursor across the screen while pasting an object repeatedly (to test speed) I found the objects following my cursor, making a line similar to drawing in the GIMP.
One convenience function for turning RGB into style strings and some fun with modulo and this is what popped out:

It only took about 5 lines of code on the client side.
