Do inline brake hose connectors exist

Unfortunately hope rx4+ calipers don't fit on my Lauf grit SL forks.  I have a few sets of others forks which I can swap out.  Plan is to have a set fitted with the hope calipers which I'll use regularly but have my lauf forks fitted with the grx ready and waiting to use when needed.

Rather than go through the pain of bleeding  each time, does anyone know if online quick release type things exist for brake hoses?  And if so, are they any good

The only ones I’ve seen are the ones on Shimano brakes - but they aren’t quick release / guaranteed to work without a bleed being done.

My sram apex brakes have inline connectors that I swapped round as they were set up euro style. I didn't need to bleed them but I'd not be confident doing it repeatedly without.

Are the SRAM connectamagic ones able to do this? I know they're supposed to- the lever seals itself off when the hose is removed. But quite often this sort of thing isn't perfect and causes problems if you do it a few times

Do those work with any brakes?
