need, but I use a combination of the following to snap a point shp to a line shp.

v .to.points set at 0.5m distances on line layer (obviously the lower the more accurate)

Distance to nearest hub from original point to newly created point,output as line

Join attributes by location using v.to.points layer as target and nearest hub layer as join vector layer. Wet predicate to touches. Take attributes of first located feature and only keep matching records.

You could probably query to find the closest line from each point
