Split table Cell diagonally, keeping editing capabilies

Question

Is it possible to split a table cell diagonally and have it function as two seperate cells...?

I am aware that you can use diagonal lines to visually divide a cell, but that does not give the functionality I require of one cell split two independent cells split diagonally (see atatched).

I'm trying to avoid having to manually enter text using a seperate box outside of the table.

Anybody ever had to do this or have a solution?

I started to reply here but realized that the steps were getting a bit comlicated so I recorded a video that will show you one possible solution to your question. I hope it helps!

Thank you Chad for a pretty much perfect response, i'm most impressed.....I very nearly never posted this question thinking it might just be a little too niche, but sure glad i did now.

This certainly will help me to achieve what i was looking for, all i needed was a little outside of the box thinking (excuse the pun).

For a bit of perspective this is for a Golf Scorecard I am creating and I wanted to be able to keep the edits inside the table so that if any other collaborators here work on the file and moved anything about (which often happens), the edits would remain in place.
All too often seperately grouped boxes over the top of the cell get ungrouped and lost, by pasting the custom shaped frames inside the cell this has been solved.

Thank you for taking the time to create the video the answer surpassed my expectations.
