[ screws into plywood edges]
If you have to, prep the plywood by boring a transverse hole, blind if
you want one side to show, and cement in a chunk of dowel.
Threaded insert, maybe.
There are metal 'cylinder nuts' that will go in a bored hole and hold
a transverse machine screw. Is that what you're thinking of?
The cylinder nut solution is sometimes used in bedframes.
Google "threaded insert" and that's what I'm talking about.
I believe what you described is called a dowel nut.
I've always called them "cross dowels".

Tomato, tomato.
Of course, that saying doesn't work very well when read instead of
spoken. :-)
