Associated 2D detail lines

When referencing dynamic / cached cuts from 3D design into 2D Drawings, please could any subsequent detailing line work please be made associative to that underlying reference geometry.
This would go a long way to helping maintain co-ordination between the lower detail geometry you get out of a cut view, and the higher detail geometry you overlay to that cut in 2D.

Dimensions update as expected when associated to the underlying reference geometry and that geometry is moved, so this should be possible for detail line work too,especially as it seems the underlying ability for the "place line" tool is already in place:

I have tested the "place line" (from keyin) and it does work if all the info is in the same model, but fails when trying to associate to referenced info.

The same should be true for all annotation/detailing that is applied over a dynamic cut - Hatching/Notes/etc.
