Aah, don't worry, that's why they introduced system-wide text recognition in images, powered by Apple Intelligence!

I never actually thought to try such an obvious and definitely-not-ridiculous approach, and I can (happily?) confirm it works, so thanks for that. Apple are certainly leaning into Think Different with this.

    I... well, you are welcome :-)

    Playing around with it for ten seconds, it looks to me you might even use the Shortcuts app to

    - Take interactive screenshot - Extract text from screenshot - Copy text to clipboard

    and assign that to a keyboard shortcut to at least clean up this abominable workaround a bit.
