I like the default screenshot App of MacOS quite a lot, but I am wondering if I can even improve this workflow so that I automatically copy it to my clipboard when I take the screenshot?
At the moment I am always pressing CMD+Sift+4, select what to screenshot and then click with my mouse on this little window --> then I press CMD + C and paste it wherever I want it (often in my Notes).

And also is there a way to immediately copy it to my clipboard but then also delete it immediately?
Often I screenshot something quickly just for a message on a Mail/Whatsapp, which I afterwards dont want to keep on my Mac.

If automatic clipboard copying is imposibble, is there a way to directly open the little window which pops up for 5 seconds after taking a screenshot on the right lower screen without using my mouse to click on it?
