If I think about it hard enough FencerDevLog will make a video about it. He is like the CGMatters of Godot Tutorials.
Bravo! ☺

Great Video! i am actually using it at the moment , but i would like to set that snapshot as the texture of a Sprite2D but i am not able to do it. Do you have any advice on how to approach it ?

[@FencerDevLog]

Thanks for watching! I suppose you can set the "texture" property of your Sprite2D node in GDScript using the "load" function to access the stored screenshot. Something like sprite2D.texture = load("user://path/to/screenshot.png"). But I never tried that myself.

@@FencerDevLog thank you sir. It took me a long time but i figure out one has to transform an Image resource into ImageTexture resource before it can be used, to do so one has to use method .create_from_image().
I just put the code below for anyone who may wonder in the future
func _take_screenshot():
await RenderingServer.frame_post_draw
var viewport_texture: Image = get_viewport().get_texture().get_image()
var new_image_texture := ImageTexture.create_from_image(viewport_texture)
sprite2D.texture = new_image_texture
