Disagree an additional warning is needed, urlview already writes
"Executing: www-browser 'URL'...", so this is blatantly obvious.
But, sure, this can warrant a note in the manual.

https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/urlview-ng/commit/88a54e2ca0e86cce1fc62e264a822a5cb7d528ae
adds a VIA config option;
what you describe can be done by setting
"VIA pipe" and "COMMAND xclip"
           (or "COMMAND xclip -selection clipboard", or whatever).
