IPAD magic keyboard - can I change from a dot cursor to a pointer

Hi, I seem to be stuck with a dot as my cursor but would prefer a pointer. I’ve tried using the accessibility menu but can’t find a way to change this, is it possible?

iPad Pro (6th generation)

While the size of the dot-cursor can be altered, you cannot change its style from a dot (representing the “touch” point) to an arrowed pointer.
