It is certainly possible, but Xastir does not have that particular
capability.

At the moment we can't add enhancements to the codebase either, but
we'll be able to after we push the out stable release in a week or
two.

Whether to add this particular capability is mostly up to the users:
Things that get requested a lot typically get added.

Correct.
