Google Docs/Sheets – How to Link Directly to a New Copy

google docsgoogle sheets

Is it possible to craft a URL (or bookmarklet) so that when clicked it opens a fresh "copy" of an existing Google Docs or Sheets?

Apparently it used to be possible by appending &newcopy=true to the end of the URL, but this doesn't appear to work any longer.

Is there a new method?

Just change /edit in the end of the link to /copy.
