I can't find the documentation any more, but I have found documentation on how to use copy the create the target as a hard link or as a soft link.

I'd forgotten the other system that works as you described: reflink.

"cp" supports a --reflink option, and on a few filesystems that implement it (btrfs, OCFS2, maybe xfs and zfs, I'm unclear on their status), you can create a CoW copy of a file.

Again, not standard behavior, not widely implemented, and relatively new, but this might be what you were thinking of.
