Playing hand and brain

I've been looking at several videos of hand and brain and it looks like a fun way to play and a very useful one to learn different ideas and explore lines that you wouldn't normally play.

Is there a feature to play hand and brain with some random users on Lichess?

And if not, could that feature be implemented?
This can not be rated because it is to cheat sensitive.

so be creative. Start an unrated game.
Invite 2 other players to the chat and let them say bishop etc.
That only works if you know other chess players who happen to be in the same time zone and willing and...

Obviously, it is not a rated game, but who cares? Not all games have to be rated. Think of it as a learning tool and as a fun game.

I looked at the other thread and it says that you may have to wait a while. Of course, you need to match 4 people instead of two, and there would be less demand (at the beginning at least), but a typical game starts within 30 seconds. If this takes 2-3 minutes, no big deal.
