Windows snipping tool doesn't have any way to let us draw straight lines by pressing Shift. Windows Ink Workspace is another tool that supports snipping and drawing the snipped portion. It has a virtual ruler that helps us to draw straight lines.
To enable Windows Ink Workspace
Right-click anywhere on the taskbar and from the context menu select Show Windows Ink Workspace button. An icon of a pen writing in an “S” shape will appear in the notifications area to the far right.
To launch the workspace, click or tap the pen-shaped Windows Ink Workspace icon that appears in your notification area.
Tap the 'Screen sketch' block. It will be the third block in the list. It will automatically take a screenshot of your display and load it for your sketching.
Navigate to the pen bar at the top right of the screen.
Select the ruler icon. This looks like a diagonal ruler.
Place the mouse on top of the ruler and use mouse scroll wheel to rotate and position the ruler.

I simply have it set up so that whenever I turn off NumLock, MouseKeys is activated. Then I just line up the highlighter cursor, 'click' by pressing NumPad-0, then slide to the right using NumPad-6. NumPad-5 seems to consistently 'unclick' at the end; I had mixed results pressing NumPad-0 again.
Note, this 'MouseKeys always on' solution is probably only convenient on a desktop full keyboard. If you have a shared QWERTY/NumPad you'd want to use the MouseKeys hotkey instead to activate/deactivate.
I found a Windows tool called Snip & Sketch.This tool provides a Highlighter:
