This requirement is addressed by CICS TG 9.0 which is generally available December 14th 2012.
This is something we would like to address. The RFE is being moved into 'Planned for Future release' status. Please note:

As customers may already have a "request-tracking-infrastructure" in place in the distributed environment, it should be possiblel to also add a customer-"request correlation token" in an "Exit" on the WAS-side and propagate it to CTG / CICS. in CICS, there should be an "Exit" which can be used to e.g. remove this token and store it e.g. in a TS-Queue to be accessed by the application later. The propagation of the customer-"request correlation token" within CICS is of special interest when the CICS application does outbound Webservice calls to e.g. IIS (Microsoft .net application server). (Ann.: For Webservices to CICS, we are currently already implementing the propagation of the "customer-"request correlation token" to CICS -> within CICS -> from CICS to e.g. IIS) .
