In older xemacsen (and lemacs) this worked:
(x-get-selection-internal 'PRIMARY 'TARGETS)
==> [ TARGETS TIMESTAMP TEXT STRING LENGTH FILE_NAME OWNER_OS
HOST_NAME USER CLASS NAME CLIENT_WINDOW PROCESS
COMPOUND_TEXT]
Apparently x-get-selection-internal has been replaced by
get-selection-internal, but the TARGETS type no longer works:
(get-selection-internal 'PRIMARY 'TARGETS)
==> nil
This makes it impossible to do tell what selection types other apps
support, and thus makes it way harder to do any kind of sensible
content-negotiation.

Yuck. It'll be several days before I can get to this, but it will not
be ignored. With a little luck there will be somebody else will fix
it before I can. I dunno if a fix will make it into 21.4.15, as Vin
was planning on rolling that sometime around right now.

Ask not how you can "do" free software business;
ask what your business can "do for" free software.

Selection values are converted to lisp values then dispatched
according to selection-converter-in-alist. Currently, no converter is
registered for the TARGETS type, but all of the other machinery is in
place. Simply pushing a no-op converter onto the alist appears to
suffice:
(defun select-convert-from-targets (selection type value)
value)
(push '(TARGETS . select-convert-from-targets)
selection-converter-in-alist)
