Sharing a photo from Lightroom for MacOS

Is there no way to share a photo from Lightroom for MacOS directly using email or messaging? The mobile verions have a simple way to do this, or even to copy the photo to clipboard, but I can find no simple version of this function on the MacOS version, and it's just maddening, since it is something you would think any library should be able to do. I know I can export a file and then use my system to attach the file to an email or message, or open it in photoshop, copy the merged image for pasting somewhere, and then delete the file that I've exported. But is there really not a way to do this in the simple manner one can do this on a mobile device?
