    While we understand the usefulness of this function, it is unlikely to make it into our release plans in the near-to-medium time frame.

    Note that we will be contributing the Rich UI code to the EGL open source community (EDT) on Eclipse in the near future. It would be possible for someone else (like yourself!) to implement this function and contribute it to EDT. The code could then make its way into a future release of the RBD product.
