Suggestion to be able to use the Annotations tool to create Overlay

When tethering in a session, it would be great rather than having to use a third party programe to create a png for an overlay, if we could draw on an already shot image in capture one with the annotations tool and save it as an overlay to apply to subsequent images to match the layout of items.

Current workaround

Take a shot, export a jpg, open photoshop, draw on a new layer, and save that layer as a png, to then import into the overlays to use as a guide. This means everytime a layout changes and I want to match it, i have to start again. Previoiusly I would use horizontal and vertical guides to match certail pints in the frame but it doesnt always work with diagonals or organic shapes.
