What I wish APRS radio manufacturers would do is add parsing on the GPS port for messages from an external keyboard. Then let hams build the external keyboard.
The GPS parser is looking for GPXXX strings and could eequlaly well look for APMSG... And the external keyboard could generate the APMSG..... message. Would seem to be a trivial ask...

I wonder if it is still available, what do you think John?
