Alternative ways to reach Home Screen

Is there an alternative way to reach Home Screen without swiping up from the bottom edge of the screen?

I need this function to work and navigate on my iPhone while it is being placed on a special stand with a curve which makes the bottom edge not easily accessible.

The top edge is ostensibly reserved for notifications. So I have tried to find an option to reach Home Screen from top corners using hot corners or control center.

Control center does not presently offer a “Home Screen control”.

Hot corners seem to only be available under the dwell control (accessibility>touch>assistive touch>dwell control). And this dwell thing requires an external device like mouse (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251000109).

Guidance will be appreciated.

iPhone XR, iOS 14
