function copyToClipboard(text) {
      var textarea = document.createElement("textarea");
      textarea.textContent = text;
      textarea.style.position = "fixed";  /* Prevent scrolling to bottom of page in MS Edge.*/
      document.body.appendChild(textarea);
      textarea.select();
      try {
        return document.execCommand("copy");  /* Security exception may be thrown by some browsers.*/
      } catch (ex) {
        console.warn("Copy to clipboard failed.", ex);
        return false;
      } finally {
        document.body.removeChild(textarea);
      }
    }

//Get current URL
var baseUrl = document.location.href;

//remove current locale for sharing
const regex = /microsoft.com\/\w{2}-\w{2}\//g;
const subst = 'microsoft.com/';
baseUrl = baseUrl.replace(regex,subst);

//respect or ignore currect query string
var separator = baseUrl.indexOf('?') > 0 ? '&' : '?';

//respect or ignore hash
var hash = '';
var hasHash = baseUrl.indexOf('#');
if (hasHash != -1) {
  hash = baseUrl.substr(hasHash);
  baseUrl = baseUrl.replace(hash, '');
}

//build final URL
var final = baseUrl + separator + 'WT.mc_id=' + event +'-'+ channel +'-'+ alias + hash;

//Copy value to clipboard
copyToClipboard(final);
    
//replace URL - does not cause refresh, just changes the URL.
window.history.pushState("", "", final);

Thank you, Shayne, I updated the original to use your copy to clipboard function!
