What I want is not to read the entire contents of the file, but to copy the file just like pressing Ctrl+C in file explorer. After copying the file, I will press Ctrl+V to paste it into the chat software dialog box.
I want to achieve it through PowerShell or cmd, and it would be even better if it can be implemented in Python.
If anyone knows the answer to this question, please let me know. Thank you very much.

2023-05-09T01:39:43.7533333+00:00 Thank you for your response! However, what I actually need is not to copy the file from disk to disk, but to copy the reference of the file to the clipboard like pressing Ctrl+C in the file browser. Then I can use Ctrl+V to paste it into a window of certain software. @Rich Matheisen
