you don't share what printer you use, but if you would use an Ultimaker2, you could have a look at the Mark2 firmware and have the firmware handle the Z-offset for you.
Often getting started is the most difficult part of any process. A good start sets you up for success and saves you time and energy that could be spent elsewhere. That is why we have a onboarding course ready for

I don't know if Cura has that placeholder, but I think you can accomplish the same thing by switching to Relative Positioning:

Then make the Relative Moves and then moving everything back to where it was (relative), then switching back to Absolute Positioning:

P.S. Ugh, nevermind. I don't think that's what you're looking for ...
