I see a few ways to do this:

1) screenshot is saved to disk and uploaded as an attachment.
   Advantage: works with current workflow, no tracker changes
   Disadvantage: not a great workflow

2) integrate https://pqina.nl/filepond/ into tracker
   Advantages: can copy/paste files and can paste images dependedent on
               browser support.
   Disadvantage: may require changes on backend to handle the encoded data
               as it won't create a standard upload form element that roundup
               expects.

   In theory you can async upload using rest and save the file id and submit
   the new file ids adding them to the files property for the issue

   You may be able to post using the standard form as the files are
   available and
   https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56018046/submit-form-data-to-the-backend-with-filepond-file-uploader-and-another-input-fi. Adding
   elements to the form with the name files-1, files-2 files-3
   etc. and the contents from the filepond file content using some
   additional javascript.

3) implement something along the lines of:

I would be interested in what people come up with. I would like to
integrate pasting of screen captures (and naming of the file) into my
tracker (and make it part of the classic tracker). This was a very
useful feature when using jira.
