Is there some way of running

flameshot

on GNOME Wayland, other than using the terminal with:

flameshot gui

The package ships with a .desktop file:

$ dnf repoquery -l flameshot | grep desk
/usr/share/applications/org.flameshot.Flameshot.desktop

So based on https://flameshot.org/docs/guide/faq/#flameshot-doesn-t-start-no-tray-icon, you should be able to start the background daemon by just hitting your Windows/Meta key and typing "flame" and hitting enter on the right entry. 

Then in theory the key bindings should take over (https://flameshot.org/docs/guide/key-bindings/)

If you want the key bindings to work seamlessly without even starting the daemon, you should be able to work out what's being run from /usr/share/applications/org.flameshot.Flameshot.desktop and work that into a systemd unit file that runs on startup? (https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/svz7o5/systemd_startup_processes_vs_applications/ will give you a starting point...)

Probably worth skimming these too if you have problems:
