This isn't a very good solution as it clashes with items in the edit menu. You need something that clearly states that this generates a file in the same format as "Save". What do you copy to? A clipboard? A file? Some magic buffer? I think I've prefer "Export" to "Copy to", even if this is even more difficult for the user to interpret.
