Exporting material properties

I have a model where I have set the material and material density for my parts and assemblies. I would like to export those to another CAD program.
Ideally I would have used the STEP neutral file format, but unfortunately It looks like OnShapes AP242 exporter does not embed the material properties assigned to parts. As AP242 supports PMI, I'm assuming that it's simply a matter of OnShape not populating the necessary fields, and so that feature is coming in a future OnShape release. However, I would like that functionality today.
Are there any export formats where OnShape embeds the material properties?
