Is there a way to create a compass complication for the Galaxy Watch 7, but not a shortcut to open the compass app, but a compass image that appears directly on the watch screen?
Yes, but the only options I can think of wouldn’t be easy.
If you don’t use WFS, you could use WFF XML to make a custom complication slot that displays anthing that’s possible using the WFF XML drawing elements. Those should be sufficient for drawing a compass. This way, the compass complication wouldn’t only need to pass the heading value to the watchface, and all compass complications probably do that. You’d need to lock your complication slot to a particular compass complication because it could look silly if someone tried to display steps (etc) in it.
I think it’s possible for a complication to construct an arbitrary image, and then pass that to a complication slot of type SMALL_IMAGE (or similar). This would be difficult, and may not be good for battery life. But it would allow you to continue to use WFS for the watchface.
