i'm creating text with css :after. But I'm not able to select the resulting text (e.g. for copy&paste). is it possible to make it selectable?

<div>foo</div>

div:after{
    content: '   123';

}

As far as I know, this has been a long-running issue that is still not resolved. This bug thread, which is still current, goes back to 1999!
