No because the  {Strionic Resonator} only copies abilities that use the words "at" "when" or "whenever"

This is correct. Iona's ability is a static effect that is always active, and is not a triggered or activated ability. The choice of color is simply the selection of mode for it, and cannot be copied.

Not that I am aware of. But I could be wrong.

Only thing I can think of that's even close is using  {Mirror Gallery} and something to duplicate it. Not sure what will in mono white for more than a single turn like  {Minion Reflector}
