Symbolic variable in filter for MVS files

We are currently are using RDz 9.1.1.

I would like to be able to create a global workspace so various users at our enterprise can use it.
In that workspace, would I like to be able to create (MVS Files) filters with user id as a part of the filter.
Example with <hlq> on the filter so when the filter is seen the high level qualifier for the correct user id is used.
In a similar way as <HLQ> can be used when SYSLIB is specified in the COBOL settings.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. We feel this is a valid requirement but delivery within the RFE 2 year window is not likely. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid.
    Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
