Shorten a text into one word in Jira

I summarize a lot of data in Jira often, and need to provide a CML (command line) to each line in the table I create.
The CML is long, meaningless, has spaces in it and is only used to copy-paste into a Linux shell for running a script.
What I do today is write up a table in the description and then open a comment and repeat every line with a CML below it. Primitive....
I would like to add to the table in the description a one word link that when clicked on, copies the text to the clipboard.

I converted the CML into a link by doing this: [OneWord|#CML]] and indeed the long CML was replaced with OneWord.

I hoped that when I right-clicked on it and selected "Copy link address" it would copy the CML to the clipboard.

What actually happened is that it copied to the clipboard also the Jira URL and replaced every space with %20. So for example if the CML is:

abc -j xyz -c efg.jp

What I get is:

https://jira.blabla/blabla/bla#abc%20-j%20xyz%20-c%20efg.jp

I would appreciate any help possible.
