How do i make something of an interactive animation?

Hello. This is going to be a messy question as i'm not sure how to call the thing i'm aiming for.

Some info: i know how to draw, i know how to use Animate on a base level. I have no idea how to code. Literally zero coding knowledge. I also have no idea if this is even possible in Animate, but i swear i saw what i'll describe made in it.

You know how, when a 3d aninator rigs their model, they can grab a point of it and move it around to see how it acts? I'll attach an example video of that in 3d later. I'd love to do the same, but in 2d- assign a rig/bones and connections to a character, restrict their movement and, then, be able to move it according to this. Something like a small "game" or an interactive scene?

There are tons of tutorials on how to make something interactive using mouse clicks or buttons, but that's not what i hope to do.

Link! 3D, but i'd want to do something like that, if possible.
