F4 localboot is just search the bootloader and boot it.
It doesn't matter the bootloader is on local HDD or in Ventoy USB.
You can install Linux into Ventoy USB's partition 3 for example.
And boot this linux by Ventoy.

You can write your custom grub menu and load by F6.
In the custom grub menu you can boot your linux distro as you want.

Or if you use UEFI mode you can download a rEFInd.iso and put it to Ventoy USB and boot the ISO. After that you can use rEFInd to find your linux distro and boot.

SuperGrub2 is another similar super bootloader.
