I do that now but it's more convenient to just draw on the screen using
something like a hotkey to activate it.

Do you want to leave your markings on the screen, regardless of
how the intended content changes "under" it?

That might be useful sometimes, but I'm thinking of the way a
telestrator works, where the lines disappear as soon as you finish
looking at them.

So, press a hotkey to activate the utility, make annotations, press a
key to clear it and restore normal mouse function. That would be good
enough. There are some programs with descriptions that sound almost
right but it turns out they don't do this.
