Exactly. You should plan for things to be in the corners or plan for having to stop and be looking ahead enough to see it happening with enough time to be able to react. But yes, the correct way to brake mid corner would be to stand the bike up some before adding the brakes. If you try and grab the front brake while fully leaned into a corner what happens, why?
If you are going around a right hand corner and you need to stand the bike up, how do you do it?
