It will do exactly that. Give it a try, you'll see that it works without moving the playhead or timeline selection.

In the Edit window:
  1. Turn "link timeline and edit selection" off.
  2. Make sure "link track and edit selection" is turned on.
  3. Copy your notes or clip
  4. Click the nameplate of whatever track you want to paste to
  5. Paste


Or, if the MIDI Editor window is more your flavor:
  1. Turn "link timeline and edit selection" off
  2. Make sure "link track and edit selection" is turned on.
  3. Open the MIDI Editor window
  4. Copy your notes
  5. Click the destination track in the Track Selector panel on the left of the MIDI Editor window
  6. Note the hide/view state of the track, bullet point means it's shown
  7. Paste

A Third, and easier method would be to select your notes or clip, and alt/option drag them to another track. If "Link timeline and edit selection" is off, the playhead and timeline selection will not move.
