What do I need to google for to get something that can clamp to the handlebars and hold the syringe upright while bleeding brakes?

In the past I've just used some garden wire inside some silicone tubing, there's similar things on the market with a foam covering over a bendy metal core, I wouldn't bother searching for some specific clamping arrangement that'll probably be overpriced.
Or if you insist Google brake bleed syringe holder, derr 😁

3d printing? or an old skool test tube clamp from a science lab?

Or even 2 reusable cable ties in a figure of 8

Doesn't that put the syringe well below the brake lever and require a length of tubing making an S shape.

Bit of garden wire +1

Or, if it's the sort of brake that the syringe threads into (ratehr than an open top type) you can usually just put the bike on its side and then zip tie the syringe to the bars.

can you not just zip tie a piece of dowel along the plastic hose to stiffen the whole assembly.ย  Then then syringe is just held up by the whole thing being screwed into the lever
