Rips/ Glissandos
With the French horn, and many other instruments, it is common to start a measure with a "rip," meaning that you glissando from nothing to your pitch, but arrive on your pitch on the beat the note is written on. This is currently not possible! You cannot attach a gliss to the beginning of a note... it really makes horn duets, trios, ect very challenging

In the "Arpeggios & Glissandi" palette in the Advanced Workspace (see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/arpeggios-and-glissandi) contains what you need, I think.

Yes, "scoop" or "slide in below" symbols are what you want.

I have tried it on my version. The symbol inserts but makes no difference in the playback.

This is probably covered by existing issues on Github, so you might see an improvement when MS4.2 is released.
See a discussion in another thread "Playback error using scoops":

When I understand you correct that a "rip" means to insert a glissando not between two notes but before a note, yes it seems to be missing. A workaround would be:
- for print to insert a glissando and move it before the note (drag and drop or using the inspector) or
- insert a system or staff text, press F2 an insert under the category brass techniques a lift (short, medium or long)
- for playback insert a second voice with two notes and a glissando and make them invisible
But maybe you're aware of this.

It's not missing - see above.

Is there somewhere a definition for the term "rip" (just for my knowledge ;-)? Does it begin before the note or behind the last note before? So it doesn't mean less a glissando/lift than more a scoop or a slide in below?
edit: below I found an example of a rip with a glissando before the note (or is it an unusual way of music notation?):

last suggestion:
when you often use a musical symbol/sign from "special characters" (F2), you can add this to a "custom palette":
