C# Windows Phone 8.1 Clipboard support

Question

I'm wondering if there is a copy to clipboard support in Windows Phone 8.1

Here it says, there is no support (no date) and here it says there is (from June '14)

However if I try to compile

Clipboard.SetText("myClipboard Text");

I only get a compiling error with a missing assembly reference for the namespace Clipboard

Alternatively is there a workaround to still be able, putting text into the Clipboard ?

Unfortunately, there's no clipboard API in Windows Runtime. You can still use it, if you build Silverlight application, but as MSDN says there's no equalient of this API for Windows Runtime apps.
