I don't see how or why it would be easier to do what you're trying to do with the wheels installed.
Maybe the one you read was for a newer model chassis, if so then probably yes you don't have to remove the wheel. The newer cars that still have separate springs and shocks have upper shock mounts that go into the engine bay and are removed that way. I read something similar before, I think it was also here that I read something like that.
However, on a W123 it's different. The upper shock mounts do not allow the shock to be removed via the hole in the engine bay, but rather out through the wheel well.
