It's kind of sad to reflect that the Apple Newton had this almost a decade prior[1] to the first iPhone and in an intuitive manner, by selecting text by highlighting it with the stylus then dragging it to the edge of the screen where it would remain in a truncated pill form for later retrieval (dragging out the pill to a document). No menus involved at all.
