That feature is coming in Plasma 6.6, so it’s not in Fedora 43 yet.
If you’re confident installing a beta of Plasma 6.6 from a COPR, you could test it that way:
For those wanting to test the KDE Plasma 6.6 Beta, you can find it in the following COPR:
Do note: This is only for experienced users only, and we do not recommend you install this on a production system!
This release will currently work with Fedora 43 and rawhide only. We are working on adding Qt 6.10 to Fedora 42, and then this release will make it to those users. We are also currently working on building that version into the fedora repos on Rawhide as we speak.

I tested this in Rawhide (which also has the Plasma 6.6 beta) and unfortunately I can’t get it working.
The Spectacle options screens show that OCR “should” be available, but it fails to find the necessary tesseract libs even though the package is installed.
