One approach would be to use the ace-isearch package or a custom keybinding and function (like the one shown here) to use isearch
first and its "C-w" binding to yank the words, and then switch over to consult-line
using the same query.
See https://github.com/minad/consult/issues/378 where this has been discussed before. One can write a command copying the current word at point in the buffer into the minibuffer.
