Take the following with a fairly large grain of salt, I only know a bit about how this stuff works lol.
The Switch's video signal is encrypted iirc, so there would need to be a decryption solution for that. Once the signal is decrypted, you could theoretically make the Switch think it's plugged into a dock and send the video signal to a PC through USB, making it act like that's the screen instead of a TV. So you'd have the USB C cable plugged into the Switch, that plugged into some sort of device that decrypts the signal, then that sends the signal to a PC via USB like how 3DS capture cards work using a special program to display the image on the PC. You wouldn't be able to see the image on the Switch itself, but you could capture video using OBS or something.
Again, this is all speculation, although it would be neat if it could work.
