ShareLink in SwiftUI doesn't offer Copy link

Question

Using any form of ShareLink with an URL or a String having an URL as text, never is the option Copy-Link offered, even when enabled and showed in the settings

ShareLink(item: url)

Answer 1

i had to resort to NSViewRepresentable and my custom service...

to create a replacable ShareLink <-> XShareLink

XShareLink(item: url) {
   Image(systemName: "ellipsis")
   .imageScale(.large)
}

if anybody finds a more pure SwiftUI way, pls feel free
