Copy image from clipboard to markdown report

Question

I would like to be able to use a screen capture tool and copy the image directly in a markdown report using rstudio.

One possible sequence of actions would be :

• use my windows snipping tool, or run a capture utility from R
• capture whatever needs to be captured
• save it in the working folder, or better in a folder set by options
• insert the ![](image.png) code in the markdown

How can I do this or something similar ?
