$wpide_copy_link_action = function ( $actions, $post ) {
if ( 'publish' === $post->post_status && is_post_type_viewable( $post->post_type ) ) {

'<button type="button" class="button-link wpide-copy-link" data-url="%s">Copy link</button>',
esc_attr( get_permalink( $post ) )

add_filter( 'page_row_actions', $wpide_copy_link_action, 10, 2 );

?>
<script>
document.addEventListener( 'click', function ( event ) {
var button = event.target.closest( '.wpide-copy-link' );
if ( ! button ) { return; }
var url = button.dataset.url;
var done = function () {
var label = button.textContent;
button.textContent = 'Copied!';
setTimeout( function () { button.textContent = label; }, 1500 );
};
if ( navigator.clipboard && window.isSecureContext ) {
navigator.clipboard.writeText( url ).then( done );
} else {
window.prompt( 'Copy this link:', url );
}
} );

} );Notes
Uses the browser clipboard; very old browsers fall back to a prompt with the URL selected.
