I won't know apriori the word or words or phrases to build the OR RegEx Find.

Proofing or fixing a book, when I come across a word or phrase (typically foreign) that I want in italics (or bold or <span>-ed or whatever) everywhere in the book, I could select the text, and then run a stored search "Make Selection Italic" IF there were a way to have Find somehow use what ever is selected

MS Word's Find&Replace lets you use ^c for the clipboard contents, and there's so much in Calibre, I didn't know there was something similar, or if it could be easily added
