ScreenCapture to Clipboard → Open in Preview

Take a look at Screenshot to Clipboard Interactively Macro which uses the interactive capture, saves to file, and copies to clipboard. You can then use an Open File action to open the file from disk in the app of your choice.

If I recall correctly, the tricky part is how screencapture behaves when you combine command line options. So keep that in mind if you grab snippets from this above macro to incorporate into your own :slight_smile:
