1. There is a Product Idea concerning this on the PTC Community page.  If this is piece of functionality that you would like to see, please add your vote to this idea.
2. There is also a Tech Support call that deals with this.  According to the call, the plan is to add this capability in Creo 4.0.

There aren’t any Product Ideas in the PTC Community for this functionality.  PTC Product Management uses the Product Idea list as one method to prioritize enhancements.  I would recommend creating a Product Idea for this enhancement so that other customers can vote on it.
