Right, the cursor position records the cut/paste spot.  When you
paste, it puts that spot under the crosshair.  If you use a script or
action to do the pasting, you can specify the coordinates.

  "PasteBuffer(AddSelected|Clear|1..MAX_BUFFER)\n"
  "PasteBuffer(Rotate, 1..3)\n"
  "PasteBuffer(Convert|Save|Restore|Mirror)\n"
  "PasteBuffer(ToLayout, X, Y, units)";
