I think it would be possible to derive a custom button from the standard 
button and add a right mouse click handler to the event table.  How 
about right mouse click on the clipboard icon opens a dialog or drop 
down menu that configures the image format saved to file?  To make 
things more clear, the format, e.g., "png", "pdf", "svg" could be 
superimposed on the clipboard icon with the format selection.  And maybe 
change the tool tip to read "Left Click: Copy, Right Click: Configure".
