I have a similar set of mappings for the opposite condition...to insert a
line above or below the current one without going into insert mode (it
just boringly does an "o" or "O" and followed by an <esc>). Not very
exciting stuff, which makes it likely it won't show up as a native sort of
command, when there's a pre-existing means to do it with minimal fuss.
Tim, there is also the :norm command..
:norm of
Would do what you want (but I imagine you'd want to map it to save
keystrokes and that mapping would probably be completely equivalent to your
current o<esc>.
:help :norm
