Efficiently Activating Precision Finding with the iPhone

I appreciate the precision finding feature in the Find My app for locating nearby AirTag-connected items. It's incredibly helpful for getting oriented in large, crowded spaces. However, enabling the precision finding requires quite a few taps when using VoiceOver. When you ask Siri to "find my jacket," the airtag will play a sound for a short while. But then you need to double tap the item and after that you need to double tap "Find Now" to actually start precision finding and to get instructions. This multi-step process isn't ideal for smooth navigation. I'm wondering if there might be a way to activate precision finding and navigation instructions in one step via a Siri shortcut, Back Tap, or something similar. I am looking forward to your experiences and suggestions.
