Kdeconnect has such feature, It has windows builds. On gnome use Gsconnect.
Or rdp. On windows enable remote desktop, on linux install an rdp client, I use Remmina

vnc or rdp or something else?
If they're saying "guest" I'd assume it's a virtual machine. But yeah, is it VirtualBox or KVM or something else?
True, kvm defaults to SPICE I think.
For a Windows VM I would do as @infeeeee@lemmy.zip and install Remmina on the host.
Clipboard sharing in VirtManager is a hit or miss, I remember once I could set it up, but usually I use rdp as it always Just Works™
For a Windows guest, I'd access with Xfreerdp instead of the console viewers like Spice, it's probably faster and smoother. In which case you can use the Xfreerdp commandline with -clipboard or use Remmina/KRDC and enable the clipboard with their UI (since both just use xfreerdp in the background anyway).
