Thank you all for the votes.
Can you help us understand the key problems that you face in the absence of ability to send an anchored image backwards?
What’s the current workaround that you have to follow?
What are the use cases wherein you need that the text appears specifically on top of inline anchored image?
This information will help us evaluate the functionality better.

Hello All,
Kindly provide more information about this ask. How do you plan to use the Action Panel in InDesign? Do you want it to work exactly like that in Photoshop? What are the most important actions/operations that you want to record?
Thanks

"What are the use cases wherein you need that the text appears specifically on top of inline anchored image?"
I have a better question, what POSSIBLE reason would you have for needing to put text BEHIND an image where you can't read it????
Here's a use case for you. You need to use a banner or some other sort of graphic for your titles. Something nicer than the boring boxes you can create in indesign as shading or borders. It needs to be BEHIND the text of the title, for obvious reasons. You have 1000 page document with titles throughout.
Currently, you can anchor it inline with the text in the text box and set the "space after" to a negative value in the anchored objects settings box. But this is clunky and means the graphic is restrained within the text box when you probably want it just outside and into the margin.
Alternatively, you have to paste it into the text box with the Title text already on it, as a group. But this is again still constrained by the confines of the text box.
There is virtually no way to achieve what I frequently need to achieve without leaving my title banners floating around in mid air and having to find and reposition them all every time someone wants to add or remove something from a document.
If you google how to do this there are 100s of examples of why, when and where people want this feature, not to mention all the comments already on this thread of people telling you exactly what you've asked for. Why is this still sat here, 4.5 years later, and we are all STILL trying to figure out why this completely ridiculous feature hasn't changed and how we are meant to bodge stuff together to fix it for ourselves.
