I want User to be able to `Paste (ctrl + v)` Screenshot from snipping tool into File Upload Component to be written to database.

Instead of Saving the Image and Uploading.

Is this possible? hmm

Not from the Ignition side. Such things have to be supported by the browser itself. Like mobile browsers automatically extending the file upload component to support taking photos.
