The definition on the trope page is this: \\\"Psychometry is a Psychic Power whereby a person receives visions upon physical contact, sometimes involuntarily.\\\" The page also specifically differentiates it from DreamingOfTimesGoneBy, a trope about similar visions but through dreams. (Which I believe is something Elsa does in the novelization, but I don\\\'t currently have a copy with me so I can\\\'t double-check.)
Elsa conjures the image of Agnarr being saved without touching anything, so it seems like her touching the ground at the boat was her being extra as usual... unless maybe Gale was helping that first time? Or maybe she wanted to make sure she was using water from the boat instead of the air to increase the chances it\\\'d have the memory she was seeking? The movie\\\'s not clear why she does it then when she conjured memories without touch previously.
[[Administrivia/SquarePegRoundTrope Even if there isn\\\'t a trope that\\\'s closer fit, that doesn\\\'t mean we need to squeeze what\\\'s going on into this one]]. But I think if we specify Administrivia/TropesAreFlexible is applying in the entry and focus on the physical objects involved maybe it could work. As you said, her physical proximity does seem to be a factor, which is close. We could emphasize that part.
How about this?
{{Psychometry}}: [[Administrivia/TropesAreFlexible While she doesn\\\'t have to directly touch the water/ice involved]], her powers allow her to make ice sculptures depicting past events of environments where she is by using the water there. This is explained in \\\'\\\'Frozen II\\\'\\\' as being because [[ArcWords \\\"water has memory\\\"]].
