Unfortunately, no.
The Action Camera Center is a nice tool for quickly adding these effects to a clip, but it's really mostly a time-saver rather than a replacement for what can be done on the timeline.
Since it's basically a "grab-n-go" tool, it necessarily has to return to the original clip with everything back to normal, and there isn't any way to go back and adjust any of the actual edits it makes. You can alter the timing and style and even a limited number of times to repeat the effect, but you can't change whether the tool leaves the clip in an altered state or not.
The best way to do what you're asking is actually to use the image option, but make sure that you're using PD's built-in snapshot tool:
You may also want to try changing the
Snapshot file name: 2D: type to .png on the
Preferences | File screen and see if that improves the quality you're seeing.
In my experience, the quality of the captured screenshot is excellent, and it's usually a pixel to pixel perfect match for the frames before and afterward. One reason it could be off is if you have some corrections or other effects that might possibly change when PD produces the video vs. the image it renders when previewing.
In that case, you may get a better outcome if you use the Produce Range feature and "finalize" that section by producing it ahead of time. Then you can import the produced version and replace the raw clip(s) on the timeline, and now when you pause and take a snapshot, it should exactly match.
