On Windows, I used to press print screen then select the region and then paste into the document.

For markdown, beamer, latex, etc. I need to save the file in a particular location with a relevant name and then incorporate the name into the source file.

What's a quick way of doing that?

Shutter is a good tool on Linux. It has a lot of options.

Options in Shutter:

Assign print screen key to print selection
Ensure that Shutter window opens after selection is made

When selecting

Print Screen
Highlight desired selection and double click
F2 to give appropriate name
Ctrl+U to export to a folder

There's even Control+Shift+C to copy file name to clipboard.
