How do I take a screenshot in Win10 in a way that places a URL into my clipboard instead of an image?
I am taking a lot of screenshots (snippets of the screen, actually) and would like to have a one-click way to share (embeddable - with file extension) links of these uploaded images with others without having to manually upload them or copy a link.
I have been using Lightshot but it 1) requires you to manually copy a link and 2) the link it gives you is actually a webpage, and not an image.

To the close-votes. This question is worded in a way that avoids the product recommendation issue. OP was asking how to accomplish something, not specifying they need a recommendation for a product to accomplish it. It is also about computer hardware and software. The requested solution includes a web product, but the question is not primarily about that web product.

Try Greenshot.
Greenshot will allow you to instantly upload your screenshot to Imgur and will put the direct image URL in your clipboard.
After you take a screenshot, you can either have it display a menu for you to select what you want to do with the screenshot (default behavior):
...or you can configure it to automatically upload to Imgur, eliminating an extra click:

Pretty much all screenshot assist applications office this feature. Greenshot is one such. I personally prefer/use ShareX, which also does this.
