The way we presently support this is by first creating an image from
an existing instance, and then creating a new instance from the image.
You can look at the imgadm(1M) manual page for more information,
either on your system, or online:
https://smartos.org/man/1M/imgadm
(In particular, see "imgadm create".)

If we were going to support something like this, or other features
like the ability to use an alias in place of an instance UUID, it
would have to be off by default. The "vmadm" command is an interface
about which we make strong promises of stability, as other software
depends on its precise behaviour.
