Sketch "Use" in featurescript

I cannot find the function to "Use (Project/Convert)" an existing face (which the feature user would define), onto a sketch that I create in my featurescript.
Is it not implemented, or am I just failing at finding it?

Let use know the larger problem being solved and there is possibly an alternative solution, like using the existing entity as-is, or splitting that entity with a plane and using the split edge.
so desired edge call
evEdgeTangentLines
project the line origins returned from evEdgeTangentLines to the desired plane.
opFitSpline on the projected points.
Result. spline on plane created.
If the edge loops back on itself, it will fail and you will need to find out why.
Imagine a circle perpendicular to a plane. when you project that circle, you will get points that overlap as it is visibly a line when looking from the plane.
As you described, I ended up extruding a face, and splitting with the sketch plane. Not as elegant, but it does the job.
