Is there a way to record a piece that starts without click and switches to click?

I’d love to discover a way to record a continuous performance (no cuts/overdubs) that starts without click and then continues to a click in the middle of the piece.

An external metronome could be triggered by foot pedal, for instance. But could it be done all within the DAW? Has someone devised a Reaper script for such a thing?

Good to know: As a general word of caution, avoid posting complete compositions, mixes and tracks on the internet before backing them up on a remote and reputable server. Even small snippets or watermarked tracks should be posted AFTER backing it up to cloud. Timestamps from cloud services will help you in case of theft.
