Is there a way to get a new body/shell & screen for the xps 12 9q23? It's screen broke. as usual.

I might want to salvage the parts - i7, 256gb ssd, 8gb ram.

I'm thinking of putting the whole motherboard, ram, and even cooling system, into a new shell that fits.

Perhaps I'm crazy ><

Or does replacing the screen work?

I've found this. https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/screen-part-number/LP125WF1(SP)(A2)/
I won't need touchscreen, I just want a screen inside the laptop.

Replacing the screen might be a viable option, if you can find the correct model in stock somewhere. Another option, if you didn't mind the loss of portability, would be to hook it up to an external monitor or television and use it as a desktop/home theatre PC.
