The answer to the question in my posting title looks to be "No", since when I try to do this I get the classic error message "Elements copied to Sheets can only be copied from other Sheets." Which is funny, since I'm not copying to or from a sheet. But maybe someone knows of a way, since it seems like this would be something Revit could handle.

You're right. But I'm not copying into a detail family, I'm copying into an annotation family. Specifically, it's a family for Electrical Fixture Tags. Which is a linework-based family.
"I don't think it is possible. Drafting linework drawn in a view still presents the model dimension,, whereas annotation presents "paper" dimensions."
Based on your posts, I found a way to copy some linework today that I had first tried copying from a drafting view.
To copy linework for a Key Plan from a Project into a Generic Annotation Family, I drew Detail Lines on the Sheet, tracing over a model plan view. Maybe this is something everyone already does- I can't remember if I'd tried it before or not.
The Detail Lines on the Sheet could be copied and pasted into the Generic Annotation Family, which is what you were saying- that these "paper space" lines are the types of lines you could copy over.
Thank You.
