Juan,

There is a patch in progress to support Matlab's copyobj.

        https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7752

For now, the listeners associated with the copied object will not be copied. 
Thus, it should be possible to use copyobj to make a duplicate of the legend 
axes object and then place it where you like by changing it's "position" 
property.
