VSCode - Is there a way to apply snippets to each line of a selection?

Question

I have a snippet. I want to select multiple lines - a set of relative paths to images that I have pasted in - and have the snippet be applied to each line separately. The snippet menu doesn't seem to have the same capabilities as Emmet (* treats each line separately)

try alt + left mouse click to enter multiple cursor anywhere. — PakDragoon

add multi cursors at each line: use Ctrl+Alt+Down or Ctrl+Alt+Up
or any other method for multi cursor if you have few Alt+Click or a lot Shift+Alt+Click
select the text of each line
type the snippet prefix and select the snippet

this works if the snippet uses the variable ${TM_SELECTED_TEXT}
