Good question. Variant or alternative are not metaphorical but also less specific.
I guess I’m just kinda surprised “perspective” feels metaphorical to you – it seems like that’s exactly what it is.
(I think it’s a bit of a long clunky word so not obviously right here, but, still surprised about your take)
Literally it refers to a method of 3D-2D projection used by eyes, painters, cameras and computer graphics. I can see the house from this perspective. I would still say “perspective” or “viewpoint” is better than “lens”.
