Btw, is is possible to reuse Finder's own copy dialog box in order to display

or am I forced to manually reimplement the same thing in my application?

I believe there are AppleEvents for this. Try looking at Finder with Script Editor to see what AppleEvent services it offers.

tell application "Finder"
activate
duplicate src to dest
end tell

In the above, src is an alias to a file, and dest is an alias to a folder.
It will block your script and show the dialog box (if the file is large).
