Looping clips without fixed tempos

Hello! I have a clip that does not follow a set tempo (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempo_rubato) and I'm struggling to make it loop. I do not want to warp it to a fixed grid - just cause it to re-play from the beginning immediately when it reaches the end. I can enable looping without warping by setting the global and track tempos to be equal, but the loop markers want to snap to the (now meaningless) beats.
Is there any way to adjust the loop markers without having them snap to a grid - or better yet - set them to a particular time (minutes:seconds:millis)?
Edit: I would want to use the clip in session view.

No you cannot loop unwrapped clips.

A clip can be set as a tempo master. Maybe this is what you’re after ?

Disable warp for the clip and set the follow action to ‘play again’??

You can Alt+drag to drag the Loop Markers without snapping or disable the grid with Ctrl+4.
The start marker can be set differently from the Loop Start marker.
Changing the Global Quantization and a Clip's Launch Quantization can be used to offset loops too.

I hope you don't mind me asking this question here...I can't find any answers anywhere else.
I'm trying to do something that should be ridiculously basic.
I have a project with a global clip launch quantization of 1 bar, and I want to set the clip launch quantization to 2 or 4 bars for several specific clips.
I change the quantization to 2 or 4 bars in the clip launch window and it makes no difference. The clip follows global quantization rules.
Occasionally it might delay the launch by an extra bar, but only once. Every time I launch after that, it launches as per global.
Am I missing something? Surely this should be as simple as changing the clip launch quantization on the clip in question, right?

Ah I see, you're just randomly asking the same question in multiple threads...
