Huh? That code exists in PageEdit and it can easily be launched and run. It is meant to be integrated into Sigil which has an easy way to launch it.

Sigil's CodeView editor is not a browser window and always pastes html/text as its base property since it is an xhtml code editor where copy and paste of code snippets are always done. Almost all copies made in CodeView typically includes html tags or partial html as text. You can not paste into a CodeView formatted rich text or images. You are confusing the target (a pure text code editor vs a browser like dom editor (Old BookView and PageEdit).

PageEdit is exactly like old Sigil's BookView and pasting formatted text into the PageEdit browser window is handled as you would expect.
