Is there a shortcut: click an item to select this as next item to build?

I really would like that, so much faster than selecting from the build panel ;-)

Use the hot bar or copy a already existing building by locking at it and pressing middle mouse

Do you know you have 10 build panels? I recommend tailoring them to specific workflows, even if it means the same object will be in all of them.

Emphasize the word same object in all of them.
Powerline is very important in almost every setup.

You can use the ingame hot bar, binding building/machine to the 10 hot bar.
YOu also have the option to cycle through it selection with E or hold E.
It will allow you to change MK1/2/3/4/5 belt right away. Saving you from binding 5 MK belt to the hotbar. Work with other stuff that has the same catelogry.

With the build gun or dismantle gun active, pressing middle click (I think) will switch to the build gun and select the building under the cursor as the next to build.
I normally hit F to select dismantle gun and then middle click on the building I want to build more of.
E.g. hit F, look at Constructor, middle click, I'm now building a Constructor

I'm on my second playthrough and had somehow missed this. What a difference it makes thanks :)

@vectorspace: you're damn right, "F" and Middle click is exactly, what I was looking for :-)
