How do I create a Construction Plane at this point?

I would like to create a construction plane (to create a sketch) that is at a point, but at an angle to three adjacent faces.  I can't figure out how to do it.

 

This is the point and the dimension along XYZ that I want to create the plane:

Using Blender I've created the following Boolean to illustrate what I'm trying to do, which is create a sketch so I can extrude a cut into the corner:

I can create sketch planes angled to faces and edges, but none of them get me to where I want to be (per the references above).  Would love some help, thanks.

Give this a try, there's likely other ways of accomplishing the same result 🙂

As you drag "Plane along Path", it will "snap" to the projected sketch point:

Hi,

With a cube it is even easier

If you know the XYZ dimensions you do not need Plane or Rectangle.
