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.
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.

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 ...
