The phone is still doing the work but an external screen is displaying it?
You could get a small usb-c thumb drive (or equivalent usb-c adaptor for memory cards) save the files directly to this then move it over to a desktop
Or
Save the photos onto a cloud storage (Google drive / OneDrive etc) then access them on your desktop
Also, your phone has something called DeX which can simply plug into your screen to avoid your workaround.
