Request, enable entity inventory without needing interface

My request is theoretically simple, although I don't know how difficult it would be to implement behind the scenes: A checkbox on the entity inventory page to enable inventory without binding it to a gui, similar to how villagers have an inventory that is hidden from the players that they use for food.

I know that it is possible for an entity to have an inventory, but currently it is only if they have a gui bound to them, and there are some cases where this is unwanted. I know it is possible to use procedures to quickly close the gui, but it still flickers onto the screen, and it makes it impossible to use a right-click item feature when looking at the entity with an inventory at close range.

Ultimately, I feel like, although it may not be as frequently used as other features in MCreator, the ability for a mob to have an inventory without needing an attached gui would be greatly beneficial for making complex mobs.
