append-next-kill just arranges the next kill to call kill-new with the
REPLACE argument non-nil, that's all. There's no magic there. the
easiest way to mimic what append-next-kill does in your commands is to
call kill-new with that argument non-nil.
You asked about the "canonical" way of doing this; that way is to call
kill-new.
