Request for 'Point Type' tool in InDesign (Like Illustrator)

Hi Adobe Community and Team,

I am transitioning from CorelDRAW and Illustrator to InDesign for my publication projects. While I understand that InDesign is frame-based, I find it very cumbersome that we cannot simply click and type without manually creating a text frame first.

In Illustrator, we have 'Point Type' where a single click allows us to start typing immediately. This would be a huge time-saver for small labels, page headers, or quick annotations in InDesign as well.

Is there any plan to introduce a 'Point Type' behavior or a shortcut to create a text frame with a single click in the future updates?

Thanks!
