Research direction

Start by locating the existing CLI entry points for snapshot and image operations, then compare them with the Web UI's "Create image from snapshot" action. Confirm the underlying operation and the arguments needed for a direct CLI command. Done means users can create an image from a snapshot without manually supplying JSON, with behavior matching the Web UI.

Description

There is an option in the Web UI to "Create image from snapshot" but the CLI doesn't seem to have any direct equivalent unless you want to specify the JSON manually (I do not want to JSON manually)
