Hi Mario,
I've forwarded your feature request to our engineering team, and have opened this ticket on your behalf to track the dialogue.
I can confirm that this functionality you've requested isn't due to be released with 4.3.0 - so the earliest it could be incorporated (and then only if accepted) would be 4.3.1. This (and your other change requests) will be evaluated and prioritized by our product manager and engineering team - after which we should be able to give you a better indication of what is likely to happen.
Kind regards,
Cathy
