Is it possible to convert QGIS 3 measure tool output to polyline?

I am wondering if it is possible to convert the results of the QGIS (3.16.0-Hannover) measure tool to a polyline (or shapefile). I need to make a series of linear measurements and would like to keep a record of the geometry of what I measured. When I try to paste the results of the "Copy All" from the measure tool I get an empty attribute table however the number of blank features shown is the same as the number of measurement segments so, it feels like the info is there… somehow….
