Is it possible to store the screenshot directly to the clipboard instead of a file?

There are a couple of ways to take screenshots on MacOS, but all of them save the screenshot as a file on your desktop. Is there a way to store a screenshot directly to the clipboard memory and paste it in a mail or message ?

MacBook Air, macOS 13.0
