Yes, being born in the Soviet Union this is how my parents toilet trained me, and we did it with our daughter as well but were only able to catch it for defecation and not urination, but even having done that was so handy. She eventually would grunt to let us know, which as she learned to talk transitioned easily to a verbal cue. I think we had not had a soiled poopy diaper after I want to say 12 months old, but can’t remember exact age now. Potty training for urination came much easier after this as it wasn’t such a foreign concept.

It was not particularly difficult to implement and we didn’t spend a lot of time focusing on it - we caught it by being attentive a few times and it just got easier from there. Highly recommend it
