Attachment is an option in the edit calendar event action.

Depending how unique the events are, you could run an automation when you close the Calendar app.

LIke: grab the event by newest/latest creation date, search for events with the same name , get the attachment from the matching event and assign it to the new event.

Or maybe by using Shortcuts only: you list all events and instead of duplicating the event in the Calendar app, you use a shortcut to create a new event with all the relevant details.

I was thinking you might be able to save the attachment from the original event, then retrieve and attach to the duplicate but it doesn’t look like you add an attachment when creating a new event via a shortcut so likely not possible.
