Would love to hear what methods you guys use to do this. For example, if you want to use Wallet of Satoshi to create an invoice but then you need to paste this invoice into Robosats on your desktop computer, how do you go about doing that?

Signal has desktop clients as well as a mobile app. There's a "Note To Self" feature where you basically send messages to yourself. That's what I typically use.

This is indeed quite easy solution. But I'm sure if there are any hidden issues/concerns.

Use a draft message in Protonmail (Proton app in phone, Proton web in Tor browser)

Telegram, or more private Keybase another two options that work well

Yup. And Telegram has a "Saved Messages" user, which can be pinned at the top, making it easy to access the message from the other device with RoboSats.

If you have an iPhone and a mac you can just use the native Universal Clipboard <3
Otherwise yeah, something tied to your account like a google drive note or protonmail draft. The caveat here is that technically the information will then pass through those systems, which could break privacy depending on your trust in <google/protonmail/etc>
A more secure way would be to use photons for the data transfer. Get a QR Code scanner app on your desktop and scan the QR Code displayed on your phone.

I wonder if morse code or some similar audio standard could be used to transmit addresses or invoices

I've looked into this before but all the QR scanners I've found use some random chinese software which I definitely don't want to install. Do you know if QR code scanners really need this software or are they natively supported in windows 10? Any recommendations?

You're right, even open source libraries are mostly chinese, go figure.
Are you comfortable with the command line? You could try this webapp (requires nodejs) that in theory lets you scan while being offline: https://github.com/gokulkrishh/qrcodescan.in
I prefer copy-pasting the invoice text. Feels safer and I need no additional tools.

On Android you could use any notes app

You can install a QR code reader on your laptop and let it read the invoice from your phone, for example on linux zbarcam-gtk

The grunt way is to email the invoice from phone to desktop. Or via airdrop but even that can be janky,
