Thanks for this helpful post Nick. Perhaps something like this may help:

library(clipr)
library(tidyverse) # for the %>%
utils::toBibtex(citation("rmarkdown")) %>% clipr::write_clip(content = .)

If the purpose is just to copy the main BibTeX entries for an R package via the utils::citation()

Even if you write the text to clipboard, it still requires two manual steps (1. run the code; 2. paste and save). Here is how to fully automate it: https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown-cookbook/write-bib.html

Amazing, thank you both, @shamindras and @yihui !
