Brainstorm: Think of a good secure way to transfer pipelines between intances #1140

Description

@Ark-kun

User scenario: User sees a pipeline run in a public readonly Tangle instance and wants to Clone it to their own instance.

Current solution: We have file-based transfer via pipeline Export and Import.

Could there be something even easier?

One idea is using Clipboard. But it can have security issue since any website can put a malicious pipeline in clipboard.
We could solve the security issue by using asymmetric cryptography: We can sign the pipeline with main instance's private key and have a list of trusted public keys in each instance. This way only pipelines from trusted publishers can be imported via clipboard.
But this feels overengineered.
