Point, Line, or Area Geometry Types in Same Survey?

Is it possible to configure a survey that allows the user to choose whether to submit a point, line, or polygon geometry with their response? I can add multiple maps to my survey, but only one map has its user input saved. I understand that Feature Layers can only contain a single geometry type, but logically I would assume that a survey with with multiple maps would create a feature service with multiple feature layers corresponding to the individual maps. It's inconceivable to me that "do you want to draw a point or a line" isn't functionality that Survey123 can supports (esp. because Map Viewer easily supports the ability to add point, line, or polygon features if a hosted feature service contains feature layers corresponding to these different geometry types). (I've read elsewhere with Survey123 Connect that there's a hacky workaround with repeats, but not looking for a hacky workaround.)

You could create a repeat for each type.  It may be a pain later for display since all the data is related and not all in one but it could work.
