The way I imagined this is the following;

you put your cursor in the text and press a shortcut (F10?) this splits the 
frame in 2 frames just below the current line. You resize your frames to your 
flow and voila, done.

The only thing is that the split frames feature still has to be implemented ;)
is on my todo list for quite some time allready, can't get to it etc. etc. 
etc.

And we have this big problem that it does not fit into the current way of 
working in WP mode....
