It is possible or advisable to apply an anti squeal grease like spray copper grease. Without taking out the brake pads.
By essentially just spraying the discs?
Bad idea?
Is there another solution? Again, without taking wheels off.
I assume this is meant to be a joke?!By essentially just spraying the discs?

If not then don't spray the discs! It is the rear side of the pads that need copper grease to (possibly) help with squealing, so not the side that touches the disc, but the other side! No it can't be done without removing the wheel.
I've seen it done.

Copper grease goes all over the pads. Front and back. Goes on the back so the pads don't stick to the calipers. And the front to stop squeal.
I've seen it done.
This guy is a troll.I've seen it done.
If you're out there, AndrewJG, thinking "no I'm not", Then jesus f
king christ stay away from your braking system and leave any future mechanical repairs to somebody competent as you are patently clueless. I've seen this precise question asked on many other places. Without immature responses.
And yes really. I was right there at the garage when they put the grease on ALL the pad.
A simple "I'm afraid not fella. Gonna have to take the wheels off" would suffice.

Well wherever you have seen it done, it has been done completely wrong! The pads squeal when the back of the pad vibrates against the calipers, nothing to do with the pad touching the disc.
If you do put copper grease on the front of the pad then do let us know how the brakes feel afterwards, just please don't test them on a public road!
I had got the car new from that particular garage. So I didn't really have a basic for comparison. If you do put copper grease on the front of the pad then do let us know how the brakes feel afterwards, just please don't test them on a public road!
But now I think about it. Considering the foot brake was on all four wheels. The braking force wasn't great.

I suggest you take a closer look at whom that is.
Again. A simple mature. "No sorry you will have to go to a garage for that one." Would have done.
I know how brakes work. But I didn't know how copper grease worked. If I knew. Why would I've asked?
This forum is for people who don't have a clue = TO ASK!
I don't have a clue = so I asked!
I don't expect smart fking comments and being called a troll.
Take a look at yourselves.
