Not necessarily Org-specific, but here's my idea, untested:
```emacs-lisp
(defun my/yank-subst-ellipses ()
(interactive)
(let* ((start (point-marker))
(_ (insert (current-kill 0)))
(end (point-marker)))
(save-match-data
;; Play around with this regexp
(while (re-search-forward (rx "...") end t)
;; And this replacement text
(replace-match "[...]")))))
```
Then, since Org sets C-y as `org-yank', make an advice with it. I am
not confident in this portion at all, but here goes nothing ;)
```emacs-lisp
(require 'cl-lib)
(advice-add
#'org-yank :around
(lambda (org-yank &optional arg)
(cl-letf (((symbol-function 'yank)
(symbol-function 'my/yank-subst/ellipses)))
(funcall org-yank arg))))
```

Best,
