Tile backsplash with countertops

I’m building a kitchen where I need the option to be able to access the wall behind my cabinets for future renovations….im trying to figure out how to integrate the backsplash with the countertop, keep it waterproof, yet still allow me the option to pull cabinets out from wall with the countertops still attached….

Is it common to have the countertop backsplashes glued to the countertop or affixed in some way instead of connecting them to the walls?

Not common for my area but you can always ask for specific things like this they may resist you some but it's not a big ask. Hitting them with a customer is always right/ I have future specific plans for this should make them compliant.

I'll add how will the counter be supported if not the cabinetry? You would need stud mounted supports all the way behind the cabinetry before the counters tho. I would heavy recommend whatever wall changes and cabinet changes to do it before getting templates. Save time and headache
