universal action Universal Actions / 'Text' Actions for Images (eg. from clipboard)

[devalias]

When I open the 'Clipboard History Viewer' and I have an image on my clipboard:

 

It would be cool if I was able to press the right arrow key to access a form of 'Universal Actions' that work with images, similar to how I currently can for text:

 

 

I know that we can currently use Universal Actions on files, so I wonder if there might be a way to 'fake' it by treating a clipboard image as a type of file? Alternatively, if a new 'image' type was added to universal actions, then it would be cool for any universal action that accepts an 'image' would also show up when triggering the universal action on an image file (alongside the typical 'file' actions):

 

And then I'm not sure whether it would be possible to implement (and if I could do it from the clipboard that would be a fine workaround in most cases anyway), but if it was possible to somehow detect when an image is 'selected' (similar to how text is) in a webpage/etc so that when the universal action selection hotkey is triggered, it would handle the 'image' actions appropriately as well, that would be cool too. I mention this last part for completeness, but I think of the 3 aspects, this would probably the one I would use least (if ever) in reality.

There is an important distinction to be made between an image file and image data. They are different things. Though Alfred does save image data on the clipboard to files, specifically TIFF files because that’s how the data is represented in the clipboard. You can use the Screenshots workflow to view copied image data and reveal them in the Finder for further actions.

Also, you can already act on images specifically via Universal Actions, it’s the File Action Trigger with Types set to +public.image.
