Three finger drag on magic keyboard trackpad on ipad

Is there a way to enable e three finger drag on the magic keyboard trackpad on ipad? It is very handy on mac trackpads so it would be really nice to have it on ipad as well since many of us do actual work on these beautiful and powerful machines. Maybe an up and coming feature? Is there any way to enable it through accessibility settings?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

TRACKPAD AND MOUSE SUPPORT ON IPAD !! Finally….iPad has trackpad and mouse support on any iPad that can run iPadOS 13.4 Just upgrade your iPadOS to 13.4 connect your mouse/trackpad from Settings>Bluetooth and then configure it from Settings>General if needed. (Make sure your mouse/trackpad are turned on and NOT connected to another device like iMac, iPhone, or a different iPad) Many of us have been waiting on, and petitioning Apple for, this feature for YEARS now! Kudos to all of us that supported the effort to get this feature added! All of us faithful users/consumers, all of the hard working Apple Contractors, Employees, Managers, and Executives! This feature has just eliminated a major hassle to my writing while using my iPad with Apple BT keyboard. YES!!! My very functional iPad has now become much, MUCH less awkward when I use it for writing! I am sure other users will be thrilled that Apple decided to allow this feature on iPad for their work/hobby/fun in many more ways than just writing! THANK YOU TO ALL THAT MADE THIS HAPPEN!

Thanks for your answer. So it is still not supported. It would be a really welcome addition in the future.
