Is it possible to create a silhouette edge of a mesh in Blender?

Question

I want to be able to create a silhouette edge from a chosen point on any given mesh. Essentially, the silhouette edge is a 3D curve made up of points on the mesh whose tangent planes intersect with a chosen perspective point. I'm not just looking for a silhouette to surround the mesh from all perspectives. I want to be able to create a silhouette edge from one perspective, and then look at the curve created from the previous viewpoint in different viewpoints.

This is a demonstration of what it would look like with a cube. The silhouette edge take from perspective A:

This is the same silhouette edge viewed from a different perspective B:

The easierst way to do this is using a Grease Pencil object. Here is my proposal in Blender 3.3 how to do this in a few steps:

You can have a silhouette edge using freestyle

First you need to enable Freestyle in Properties Editor > Render tab > Freestyle panel:

In Properties Editor > Layer tab > Freestyle line set panel, you can choose how the line is formed. I.E. you can set it to display silhouette only:
