Add Subjective Omniscient PoV to the POV List

As a mystery/thriller/horror writer I sometimes use scenes in subjective omniscient PoV to show the reader something without giving them all the information. This could be the murder taking place, two people having a conversation in a dark alley, or the creature dragging the final victim back to its lair.
For other genres this could be useful for chat or phone logs where you don't want to show who is talking except you and the ai writing assistant.
I'd like to be able to use this perspective in scene beats and other ai conexts.
I've also seen this called "Third Person Cinematic" so I'm open on the naming.

Oh! Good question, Neighbouring Anglerfish. That's because I flubbed spectacularly. I meant Objective Omniscient POV not Subjective.
Objective
Omniscient is a step more removed than Third Person (Omniscient) in which you don't give how a character is experiencing the situation and/or environment.This is a pretty niche POV but one I've run into with some interlude scenes I've tried to setup.
Now how do I edit that...

How is this different from 3rd person (omniscient), which already exists as a POV in the novel settings?
