I have been browsing through the documentation for Cocoa,
but I have not had much like finding what I need.
Maybe I'm not sure as to what you need, but it was pretty easy for me.
Is it possible to receive that selected data from another app?
Does that
appilcation have to support my service in order to "copy" that data?
Go to the Apple Reference library:
http://developer.apple.com/referencelibrary/index.html
Click on Cocoa (providing you are looking for help with Cocoa)
In the search box on top, type "service".
Check the box that says "restrict to Cocoa" to make it even easier.
Click the magnifying glass.
The first result is the System Services programming guide:

One step above it is the Interapplication Communication section,
which contains docs on copying, pasting, dragging, and dropping, and
UTIs. This may also be of use to you:

Also, there are all sorts of launcher programs that can be run with
the
press of a button.
You need to understand how keyboard events are handled in order to
understand how things are launched when a key is pressed. Following
the steps above, search for "key events" instead of "service". The
first result is the Event Handling Programming Guide for Cocoa: Key
Events

Though I would recommend reading the entire event handling guide:

I apologize if these are rather basic questions, but I just don't
know where
to find the answers.
I hope that you know now. Using the basic search provided with the
Apple documentation should be the second place you look. Browsing the
docs by the subject you are interested in should be your first.
Google should be your third.
Cheers,
