Hey TonyEnglund, thanks for dropping by to share your thoughts on this.

 

It's true that this isn't possible at the moment, but I found this idea which kinda echoes what you had in mind. 

 

You can have a look and upvote it as well to  show your interest in this. 

 

Let me know if you have anything else to add or ask.

    Thanks Walter ,

      Oh, I see - thanks for pointing this out, Tony.

       

      In that case, you might be interested in the idea outlined here or maybe this one?
