We don’t do any SharePoint development, but I was wondering if there’s a way in the web UI to create the ability to copy an existing list item as if it were a template.

I don’t think there is any way to do that without at least some code or using SharePoint Designer. In code it is fairly simple to do, but I don’t think this is what you are asking for.
You could switch to datasheet view and then use copy & paste, but that isn’t really a great solution either.
You could use a SharePoint Designer workflow to create duplicates of an item through the WebUI, there is an example of this here.
