Is it possible to load resources in Unity with async/await?

Question

Is it possible in Unity to do something like this?

private async void LoadSomethingAsync()
{
    AudioClip clip = await Resources.LoadAsync<AudioClip>("path");
}

I know I could use Unitys Coroutines instead, but they have multiple downsides why I would like to use something like the code above.
On the internet I didn't found something that works for me either, so maybe someone of you knows if something like the code above is possible or not.

You can use Resources.LoadAsync(path) method for asynchronously loads an asset stored at path in a Resources folder.

The following code is an example to load an audio clip from the resource folder asynchronously,

private IEnumerator LoadAudioAsync(string path) {
    ResourceRequest resourceRequest = Resources.LoadAsync<AudioClip>(path);
    yield return resourceRequest;
    AudioClip audioClip = resourceRequest.asset as AudioClip;
}

Use can also use Addressables to load the resources. But it supports only Unity 2019.3+ versions.

public async void LoadAudioAsync(string path) {
    AsyncOperationHandle<AudioClip> resourceRequest = Addressables.LoadAssetAsync<AudioClip>(path);
    await resourceRequest.Task;
}
