As this answer, there is no direct way to acquire what you want. But there is an indirect way, by simulating keyboard press, mouse movement and mouse clicking. Here's an example (platform: Windows) for copying elements in the Chrome DevTools into Matlab Workplace and perhaps you can modify it accordingly.
system('start chrome "https://www.google.com/"');
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
% press F12 to activate Chrome DevTools
rob=Robot; % Create a Robot-object to do the key-pressing
rob.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_F12)
rob.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_F12)
pause(2);
% move mouse cursor to where you want
mouse = Robot;
mouse.mouseMove(80,550); % pixel position on your screen. modify accordingly.
pause(1);
% right click to show menu
mouse.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON3_MASK);
pause(0.5);
mouse.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON3_MASK);
% move a little bit to activate second-level menu
for i=1:16
mouse.mouseMove(174+i,300); % modify accordingly
pause(0.0001);
end
pause(2);
% move the cursor to the second-level menu
for i=1:6
mouse.mouseMove(359+i,335); % modify accordingly
pause(0.0001);
end
pause(2);
% left click to do copy
mouse.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON2_MASK); %left click press
pause(0.5);
mouse.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON2_MASK); %left click release
% load the copied text into Matlab workspace
str=clipboard('paste');
To my experience, It might fail sometimes. So, not efficient, but hope it is helpful.
