Point on Custom Plane

Is there a way to create a point on a custom plane coordinate system. I would like to create a point (0,2,0) but on use a custom plane not the world coordinates.

    Establish your local plane then use the 'point orient' component in vectors>points>point oriented.

      First, create (or locate) a "custom plane" - many ways to create a plane, or get one from a surface:

      Then create a plane-relative point using either 'Point Oriented', 'Point Polar' or 'To Polar' (maybe others?)

      Yes, keeping track of planes can be crucial - for 'Orient' and other things.
