Any way to trigger home button with L Joy-Con only?

Question

I was testing out the Snipperclips demo single player with the L Joy-Con, and I realized that I couldn't get back to the home screen without using the R Joy-Con.

Does anyone know of a way to get to the home screen without using the R Joy-Con, or resetting the console? Perhaps some combo of capture button holding and the L/ZL buttons?

I'm pretty sure the only way to reach the Home Menu is by using a Home Button, on a controller which has it.

Same goes for the Share Button when wanting a screen capture.

You can get to the Home Screen without a right joy-con, just turn the console off and on again, then by using the console's touch screen, tap the Home Screen icon (sometimes followed with the text: 'Switch User/Software'.

You can get to the HOME Menu without the right  joy con. (or pro controller.) Put the console into Sleep Mode then wake it up. Press Featured News. Press Back.

With the new button mapping system, you can assign the home button function to one of the buttons you normally can't use when your joy-con is in horizontal mode. I personally use the ZL button on the left joy-con because the L button is much easier to accidentally press when playing a game, and is more sensitive to pressing it down generally. This way, I still have all of the normal functions of the left controller, but I also have the ability to go home
