You can vote for this option on Uservoice https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/321...

You may also find this code helpful. Of course here you will have to enter the artboard numbers manually. The script itself will copy the selected objects to the clipboard.

//@target illustrator
app.preferences.setBooleanPreference('ShowExternalJSXWarning', false); // Fix drag and drop a .jsx file

// Main function
function main() {
  if (!selection.length || selection.typename === 'TextRange') return;
  var doc = app.activeDocument;
  var abs = prompt('Enter artboards for copy-paste via comma', '1');
  if (!abs.length) return;
  abs = abs.replace(/\s/g, '');
  app.executeMenuCommand('copy');
  var absList = abs.split(',');
  for (var i = 0; i < absList.length; i++) {
    doc.artboards.setActiveArtboardIndex(1 * absList[i] - 1);
    app.executeMenuCommand('pasteInPlace');
  }
}

// Run script
try {
  main();
} catch (e) {}
