This has been talked about here recently. I think if you search for "shrinkage" or "scale factor" you may come up with something.
One of the settings that is "hidden by the active machine" is "Scaling Factor Shrinkage Compensation" which would seem to be what you are looking for. (I think it would need to be a function of the Material you are using?)
Edit: One of the settings under "Preferences | Configure Cura | General" under "Opening and Saving Files" is "Select Models When Loaded". Checking that should make a tool on the left side popup (probably the last one used?). At least you would have a reminder to set the scale and maybe the Z location.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
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

@nallath of the Cura Team may comment on that.
