Pasting text containing popular highlights and timeline info

I have just copied and pasted some text from a resource into a Word document:

Text in original resource

Result in Word document:

Both timeline information and popular highlight information are copied in an unhelpful way.

I know that I could turn these options off in the display and then they wouldn't be copied but I can't think of any reason why copying them in this way is helpful.

Can this be disabled or is there some reason for having this?

Thanks, Graham
