Is there an existing issue for this?

Summary

We use the design-first approach in our company for API development. The only reason that has stopped me from ditching postman in my teams and using hoppscotch is the fact that we cannot add examples to requests before sending one request (because we're just in the design step and there are no endpoints to send request) which stops us from documenting the API responses easily in hoppscotch.

Why should this be worked on?

This could easily help design-first teams to use hoppscotch for documented their APIs instead of waiting for a prototype to be complete before they can document responses.
