Adding (necessary) lines to what is copied

Adding (necessary) lines to what is copied.

More precisely, I'd like to use sphinx-copybutton for a LaTeX FAQ. It is common for such a FAQ:

• to give examples with only code blocks that should go in the "document body" (which is between \begin{document} and \end{document}),
• to not display the necessary:
  • preamble (\documentclass{article}, many occurrences of \usepackage{...}, etc.),
  • pair \begin{document} and \end{document}.

For instance, instead of:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\begin{document}
This a \textcolor{red}{text in red}.
\end{document}

only:

This a \textcolor{red}{text in red}.

is given (with a mention to the necessary xcolor package).

But if the user just copy and paste the latter and compile it, he will go into troubles. On the other hand, giving the whole code for each example would be tedious to read.

So what could be nice is to display only:

This a \textcolor{red}{text in red}.

and the actual copied text would be:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\begin{document}
This a \textcolor{red}{text in red}.
\end{document}

Additional context

I'm aware this could be considered as unsafe but maybe a pop up could warn the user the actual content of what has been copied.
