Generate WITH clause from resultset using SQL Developer?

I've run a query in Oracle SQL developer 18.
From my experience, WITH clauses are preferred by community members, since WITHs avoid the need to create data in a local oracle environment.
- WITHs are also easy to paste into db<>fiddle.
Example:
with cte as( select 10 as asset_id, 1 as vertex_num, 118.56 as x, 3.8 as y from dual union all select 10 as asset_id, 2 as vertex_num, 118.62 as x, 1.03 as y from dual union all select 10 as asset_id, 3 as vertex_num, 121.93 as x, 1.03 as y from dual) --There are lots more rows. But it's too much work to write them all out. select * from cte
Back when I was using Toad 12 for Oracle, I remember having an export option for generating a WITH statement from a resultset. Which was really handy.
Is there equivalent functionality in SQL Developer — to automatically generate a WITH clause from the resultset? Or are we stuck writing WITH clauses manually?

There is no such thing as a dynamically created in-memory result set that persists as the result set for a SQL statement. Just imagine the server's memory requirements where a single SQL in-memory result set can contain millions of rows, and 100s or even 1000s client sessions can exist.
A SQL cursor can and often do use temporary tablespace for sorting rows for example.
A WITH clause can be materialised by the SQL cursor using temp space in certain situations.
PL/SQL deterministic function's results used in the SQL cursor can be cached.
Data blocks (from tables and indexes) I/O'ed by the SQL cursor are typically cached.
But an actual persistent dynamic memory data set created from the SQL cursor's output (aka results) does not exist.

Outsourcing allows you to cut costs and improve your business operations. Dedicated software development teams are available in a matter of days and are managed directly by the company's owners. The cost of hiring a dedicated software development team is approximately the same as traditional recruitment and can be as high as $20,000 per month. Moreover, you'll be able to communicate directly with them, which can make it easier for you to monitor the development process https://mlsdev.com/blog/how-to-create-a-marketplace.
