How artificial is artificial? They designed it so that some operations are only done on the server. Anything they do on the server "could be" done locally. It'd take some amount of rework since they didn't plan on doing it locally, but it "could be" done.
In this case, it appears that only the server is allowed to link content to other content. Without the server being involved, you can only make duplicates.
My predictions on other answers:

The content is still integrated in your realm, but is no longer updated from its source. Links will be maintained for items as long as you don't change them, so if you get cloud service again then it would resume updating.

Again, how artificial is artificial?

It seems likely that they'd give you the choice, but you could always make a minor edit to a Topic/Article/etc. and force Realm Works to separate it from its parent.
