Is that something we could change instead of adding a new command?
POLA, for me at least, would be for \g [filename] to do exactly what
you are describing with the \copyto feature. That is doesn't and there
haven't been complaints I would chalk up to notices and command
responses not being prevalent in situations where people would use \g
[filename] or paired \o [filename].
