It sounds kind of fundamental, but I just can't find a way to do it!

You should use Cast functions (ObjectRayCast, ObjectSphereCast, ObjectSphereSlide). These functions will collide exactly with mesh triangles of existing objects if CollisionMode is activated for them. But between two meshes, you can't. Physics can also be used but it works only with Physics bodies which are bounding boxes.

Although you can only use cast functions, just a simple intersection check would be extremely useful TBH. I agree and I'm surprised there's not such a check available.
There are limitations to cast functions because you'd have to check multiple casts for proper accuracy on irregular shapes.
