Can I turn a screenshot into a hyperlink without saving it first?

I'm trying to take a screenshot of something on a web page—like a person's image—and then use that screenshot as a URL or hyperlink to paste directly into Google Images search, without actually downloading or saving the image file first.

I know this is possible using the Google Lens feature built into Chrome, but I'm wondering if there's any way to do something similar using Windows 11's default tools. I haven't found anything built-in that works like that.

If not, does anyone know of a third-party tool that can do this? Specifically, capture a screenshot and use it as a search query or link without storing it locally first.
