Bypass silent mode or enable vibrate on do not disturb

I’m using a variant of LineageOS, and I keep my phone in silent mode almost all the time because I don’t like ringing phones. For work reasons, I need certain contacts to be able to bypass silent mode so that their calls actually ring (so I don’t miss them). I know that Android’s *Do Not Disturb* mode allows exceptions, and if I enable DnD, it works — but I avoid DnD because it also blocks all other notifications and vibrations, which I still want to receive. **My question:** - Is there a way to make the phone behave like silent mode (still vibrate and show all notifications) while letting selected contacts ring through? - Alternatively, is there a way to bypass silent mode for specific contacts without using DnD? I’m surprised this isn’t simpler, since it seems like something many people would want to do.
