Is there a reasonably straightforward way of replicating such a thing (possibly by invoking snippet followed by <stuff> from a command)?

This isn’t possible, but you can create a command that asks the user for a string and then proceeds to use that string, possibly inserting text (or a snippet) derived from the string.

Another option I have seen is to insert a snippet with something like:

${1:foo} tab-trigger-for-next-action$0

Then assigning `tab-trigger-for-next-action` as tab trigger for part 2 of your workflow, would allow you to “continue” by pressing tab twice, after entering the text in the placeholder.
