Save/export photo directly to album

I want to save a photo from an app to a specific album. Currently, the only option I see for doing this is saving the photo to the Photos app, and then moving that photo to the album. Can I skip exporting to photos and just export directly to the album? It is incredibly tedious to have to go through this two-tiered process for every single photo I want to save to the album. It strikes me as an incredible oversight that Apple would not support this, but that seems to be the case.

I don't want to save to a shared album, I just want to save to a specific album in Photos.

Please help.
