Sketching Basics: wake up / select geometry from another plane while sketching

Hi there,
Basic SW to OS transformation question:
While in SW(and other CAD) I can select and directly constrain geometry from other than sketching plane when in normal view it will not work the same in Onshape.
However I can constrain in Onshape it afterwards either in normal view or also "free" view.
Is there any hidden key to make non-sketch-plane geometry selectable/constrainable while sketching?

Sketch constraints work with geometry not in the sketch plane. For example, Coincident in the animation below. I also use Pierce a lot. You can also use the Use and Intersection tools to bring geometry into the sketch plane.
Dear Matt,
Thanks for your ideas. I'm aware of the constraining options after sketching or also the "use" tool.
But what I mean is having active snapping to other geometry offset to sketch plane while sketching the line.
