Regarding the resolution of Arid Archway
In MTGA, could you please prevent the triggered ability of Arid Archway from automatically going on the stack when it enters the battlefield?
I would like to be able to tap the land I want to return to my hand for mana before returning it.
Similar to Lotus Field, I would appreciate it if land-leaving-the-battlefield triggers were treated in a way that allows producing mana without needing to enable Full Control.

That woulod be a functional change. The land enters the battlefield. That triggers its ability. That ability must be put on the stack at the next opportunity. Which is before you receive priority. The rules offer no opportunity to act for you before the trigger is put on the stack.
You can, however, respond to the trigger. But like always, Arena uses a tournament shortcut, where you are assumed to pass priority whenevwer you put something on the stack, to have it resolve. If you want to respond to your own spells and abilities, you have to explicitly announce that. In paper Magic by saying so, on Arena by going Full Control.
