There.. wouldn't it be nice? :)
Nope. Think of the command which produces a really long output...do you want it to be saved in memory?
Anyway, there are a several solutions to your problem. First, as it was mentioned here already, you can use tee or output redirection (> or >>). Second, you can use script command (see 'man script' for details). Third, you can save command output into a variable, like this:
OUT=`find /`
and use it like any other shell variable. (Fourth;) You can even make a short script, like this:
#!/bin/bash # so - Save Output. Saves output of command in OUT shell variable. OUT=`$*` echo $OUT
and use it like this so find . -name myfile
And the last thing is to copy-paste from your terminal.
