Is There a Way to Make "Expanded Hold Controls" Remain Visible?

I don't believe there is a way to make them always visible. What I have done with mine is placed standard Mouse & Keyboard hotbars underneath my controller Cross Hotbar and inserted the skills so that I can still see cooldowns, procs etc on the icons. You can also modify their shape to be a straight line or to something more rectangular shaped if you want to Mimic the positioning of the skills.

Man, that's incredibly disappointing. I thought so from the like, hours I spent tinkering with it, but I figured maaaaaaaybe someone smarter than I would have something figured out. With how robust and moldable the UI in FFXIV is the lack of an option to have a set of always on display Expanded Hold Controls feels like such a random oversight.
