In Photoshop I use Click+Alt and then Ctrl + J to get duplicates of my images. Is there a way to do this in Illustrator?

Alt-drag is an almost universal Adobe shortcut for making a "quick copy".

You can also copy (Cntl-C or Cmd-C) and paste in front or paste in back (Cnt/Cmd-f and -b respectively). This is more of a clone since it makes a copy in the same location as the original.
