I seriously doubt there is. What you could do, however, is to take a snapshot of whatever is currently displayed and then create a window filling the entire screen (or screens) and fill that window with the snapshot you’ve just taken. That would give the appearance of freezing everything.
Of course, it only gives the appearance of freezing everything; all processes and windows would update as normal behind your “snapshot window”.
