I would love to hear how this works for you. I have a friendquaintance who was doing it from new with SRAM quick links and beak-beak-beaking about how he’d outsmarted the SRAM engineers until he had a failure. I’ve snapped a couple quick-links without help (single speeding) and chains failing under load sucks.
If you haven’t tried Wippermann links I’d check them out if only to see some cool engineering in action. They come apart one-handed. I carry pack pliers and never need them for my own bike (knock on wood) because I change my chains before they’re a liability so I’m happy enough with the current snap of the ShiRAMano versions.
It sounds like Wippermann is what you’re seeking though!
