Solution

Key ins are available.
construct tangent circle 3 etc.

The commands are not in the default interface because by using the various Snap
tools the same results can be obtained. Often with more flexibility.
The older commands are still available as key ins.
They start with the word: Construct
Examples:
Construct Perpendicular To
Construct Perpendicular From
Construct Tangent To
Construct Tangent From
Construct Tanget Circle 1
Construct Tanget Circle 3
Construct Tangent Arc 1
Construct Tangent Arc 3
Construct Tangent Between
