Can this model really not use an eGPU?

So I've had this ThinkPad for a while now (specs below) and I use it very regularly for graphic-intensive activities so I've been in the market for an eGPU, specifically an AMD Radeon RX 6600 since it goes nicely with the other integrated hardware. Now, I've asked Google Gemini about this and it said that due to my specific cable configurations it was deemed impossible but I don't fully believe that. Is there any way I can possibly achieve a workaround with still maintaining my portability?

Specs:

Processor AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U with Radeon Graphics (1.90 GHz)

Installed RAM 32.0 GB (27.8 GB usable)

Graphics card AMD Radeon PRO Graphics (4 GB)

Pen and touch Touch support with 10 touch points
