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,
