Is there any way to embed chord information in a song?

Can Logic Pro X embed 'chord change' information in a song in some way?  For example, is there an a simple obvious way, like a 'chord information global  track',  that I'm overlooking?  Or is there a more convoluted way to get chord information in a song, somehow using the 'Environment'?
This seems like a very basic necessity of a DAW for composers, so I must be overlooking something?
We all agree, right, that this is basic western music theory: chords form the structure of songs?  (A music philosophy question.)  For instance, a human 'voice instrument' can sing the melody, but the polyphonic instrument brings the support structure.
So when we record a song, it is not atypical to associate a chord tablature with a score.  Indeed, it is often the case that only a chord tablature is provided, and is quite sufficient in itself, to carry a song.
So where is the ability to read (i.e., CONVEY and INTERPRET with Midi/OSC exchange) chord tablature in Logic Pro?  This is supposedly a 'Pro' application, right?  So Logic can read a song 'position', with markers, whereby a secondary app can take that marker position to que song location [e.g., song position (i.e., marker notated) can be recognized by an application like MainStage to quickly switch to various song locations, like the 'intro' or 'chorus'].  So with a change in song 'position', a song will typically have a change in song 'chord structure'.  Therefore if the Midi instrument can recognize (without human intervention) this embedded (notated) 'chord structure' (which I'm having trouble finding), it should be able to change the Midi notes it is playing to properly accompany the song's 'chord structure'.
Because what I just described should be somewhat obvious and intuitive to professional musician/composers, where in Logic Pro is the ability to embed 'Chord Structure' information, that I evidently am overlooking?  Hopefully, some of the experienced 'pros', like Nigel, will chime in here.

The only workaround is to use the Score Editor with the the Chord Symbol and have a separate window open with it. Not a pretty solution, but at least something
... is that Chord Symbol information available for 'Midi Interpretation'? Can one somehow use it to alter the Midi notes being triggered by their Midi controller? That is, can Logic (or MainStage or...?) use that Chord Symbol information, through conveyance of interpretive Midi messages? (Sorry if this has an obvious answer, to someone already familiar with what you describe.)
This is what I've found so far on the Score Editor Chord Symbol:
https://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=31%26se ction=16
"Chord symbols are text objects designed for fast chord entry."
Based on that info, I doubt (but don't yet know for sure) whether they can translate over into the Midi realm for song structure composition/editing.
(Note, that link is to the Logic Pro 9 user manual, and I have yet to find a reference that succinctly and unbiasedly informs the reader what features APPLE HAS REMOVED from Logic Pro X. )
