Is it possible to trigger a specific file action in a workflow?

Specifically, I want to apply the "copy file to clipboard" action, whose (very desirable) behavior I have not been able to reproduce with any other tools. Currently I can route my output to "Action in Alfred" but then I have to manually select the desired action.

@fredcallaway "Copy to Clipboard" is available as an output if that's what you're looking for, so you could - for example - connect a hotkey object with "Selection in macOS" as argument to a Copy to Clipboard output to add the file you've selected in Finder to your Clipboard History.

 

You could also add a notification so that you get a little Notification Centre message letting you know it's done, as there's otherwise no visual cue until you open the Clipboard to check
