I still don't get the hole tool

The hole tool, even after the recent update, is still a mystery to me. I have a seemingly simple task: Designing a good ole clamp, where a bolt is used to tighten the open ends against each other. A simplified example:
The bolt is to have some clearance in the first lenght of the hole up to the gap, then there is to be a tapped length, in this case from the gap through till the other side. A simple everyday task, it appears. What I get is this, though:
I can only create a drilled hole OR a tapped one through both.
That can't be right, right? Am I supposed to split the clamp, apply the hole through two parts, to get an option to create a clearance in the first part, then boolean unite the parts back together? Am I supposed to misuse the counterbore option to make the fastener clearance? What if I really wanted a regular counterbore at that? Or am I supposed to create two separate holes, and how is that going to look in the drawing and hole table?
I feel the tool needs yet another update. Could someone shed some light on this?
