Theoretically possible. In practice, probably not so much because both
applications must be aware of a special user-id-plus-email-address
selection data type.

What should be possible, though is:

 * select the email address with the left mouse button on the web page
 * middle click on the Salesforce page to copy it there
 * same for the user name

Similarly, drag-and-drop should work.
