Yes, you could make a screenshot (this is what I'm forced to do right now) to
emulate the same behavior, but that is far more cumbersome for several reasons:
- You need to take a screenshot with the rectangular feature, paste the image
into an editor, resize the editor screen so that it only takes the minimum size
required.
- The other option is to capture the whole screen, paste the image into an
editor, resize the editor window, scroll the image to the desired place in the
window.
- The image editor window doesn't stay on top if you click into the pdf viewer
(to copy some text for example), you need to bring it back manually.
- You could keep the image editor window above all others (KDE already has such
a feature), but what if you need a web browser to fact check something? You
need to minimize the image editor to make it disappear.

As you can see, yes it is possible to emulate this behavior, but it really is
cumbersome. A lot more mouse clicks and movement than necessary.
