I'll add my standard disclaimer here - this is not a documented capability and is not officially supported. Any function or type like has not gone through the rigor / testing that supported functionality has and is subject to change in any release without notice.

Agreed and in this case it's even less of a "hack" than normal - it's a built-in appian function (named specifically for its use case and in use in the designer back-end) which people have gradually figured out how to use in a SAIL interface (if unsupported).

    a!richTextItem(
      text: ri!textToCopy,
      style: "STRONG",
      size: "MEDIUM"
    ),
    char(9),
    a!richTextIcon(
      icon: "clone-solid",
      size: "MEDIUM",
      link: 'type!{http://www.appian.com/ae/types/2009}CopyToClipboardLink'(
        textToCopy: ri!textToCopy
      ),
      linkStyle: "STANDALONE"
    )
  }
)

By the way, a team-mate found this, hope it's useful for you all.

Appian does not support this officially. But I think you should be able to find an unsupported hack using the search function.
