You have to look for it & know what you're looking for:
https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/dns-over-https/
https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/dns-over-tls/

The routers still need to know the IP address of the far
end point. I would assume that it would be easy to deduce the domain name
from the IP address.

It depends.  If the web site is hosted on.. let's say cloudflare,
there could be hundreds of names pointing to the same IP address.
