Recommended app for adding "copy to clipboard" to the share extension (self.macos)

I'm relatively new to MacOS and I frequently find myself needing to copy a file to my clipboard so that I can paste it somewhere else. Every time I click the share icon, I'm disappointed to see no "copy to clipboard" extension.

This is most frustrating when editing a screenshot or opening up a file in safari.

Anyone have a recommended app for this? I found this one but haven't tried it yet

I made that shortcut to play around with but it seemed to be hidden behind an extra menu/click:

1. click share icon
2. click shortcuts
*shortcuts menu opens*
3. click "copy to clipboard" shortcut

Is there a way to put a shortcut directly into the share sheet?
