years ago I bought an inexpensive front rack made for suspension forks, like others mentinoed here it uses clamp things with rubber on them and it worked ok.
I still have it hanging in my garage and will look at the brand. It was fairly cheap, like 25 or 30 bucks, but the store I got it doesnt sell it anymore.
I'll take alook sometime and put up the name. The rack itself seemed perfectly fine, it was just the attachment points of clamp things to the actual rack that wasnt super strong, but Im sure it could be beefed up easily with some diy thinking.
as others said, there are options like a solid fork (not easy perhaps to find the right dimensions etc) and bikepacking stuff, although all will cost you, same with panniers.
Do you have front panniers?
