After shortening, you need to select and copy the link from Special:UrlShortener. It would be amazing if we had a button and when you clicked it, boom, magically it stores it in the clipboard.
The copied URL should also have the https:// attached to it, since in the wikis this prefix is needed to be recognized as a URL.

The first thing here is determine the icon, ooui doesn't have any icon that can resemble copy: https://doc.wikimedia.org/oojs-ui/master/demos/?page=icons&theme=wikimediaui&direction=ltr&platform=desktop
@Volker_E Do you know which icon is good for this use case?
Thank you so much, the code for it is in https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-UrlShortener/blob/master/modules/ext.urlShortener.special.js and the icon you can use is "articles". And this is a help to use icons in our system https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOUI/Widgets/Icons,_Indicators,_and_Labels

I didn't see this task before writing the patch, sorry. I went with the "articles" icon:
which appears to be fairly commonly used for "copy icon":
