Not clickable, visible burrowed units

I intending on making something similiar to Dark Souls notes. I need something to mark specific 1x1 spot on the map so player knows where to 'interact'.
My idea is to have burrowed zergling in the spot. I would like it to be visible when in range, but not clickable to not disturb unit movement (similiar to sprites, but I can't burrow the sprites).
I also don't want them to be visible globally (like shared vision, I want them to disappear when out of unit's sight range).

Do you have any ideas on how to make this work? It is core idea for the map I want to work on.
It doesn't have to be burrowed unit, but it has to be something that is not clickable, will not obstruct movement and that units will walk over without it popping above units.

Larvas kind of do the trick, but unit sprite is clickable and pure sprite pops over the walking unit :(.

Edit: I can make Larvas invisible and not clickable by M2, but selectable by M1 with toggling doodad state, but that's not exactly what I was looking for xD. Is there a way to make them visible, clickable by M1, but not by M2? That would be perfect.

We do a little trolling

Dark swarm and disruption web units are not clickable and visible. You could experiment with changing them to the graphic you want for your notes with EUDs.

Math + Physics + StarCraft = Zoan

It is doable with EUD

You can also disable something like a beacon
