is there by any chance an option to copy text in insert mode

Not exactly.  You nned to jump to Normal mode to copy text. However, you can *paste* text in Insert mode from various registers by using control+R followed by the register name (by default, the double-quote).  You can read up at

  :help i_CTRL-R
