Ask to delete on Photos app for Mac

Hi, is there an option to allow immediate delete when deleting photos on the ‘Photos’ app for Mac (as opposed to getting an popup “Delete from all your devices?” message.

If not, can I suggest that this be made an option in preferences? — I think it is an option for finder.

Would like to do this as I usually use my Mac to delete photos from my iCloud photos library.

Thanks!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3

The prompt "Delete from all your devices" is only appearing, if you are using the delete key ⌫ to delete selected photos. If you use the key combination ⌘⌫ instead, the photos are deleted immediately, no questions asked.
