A question about CapType in Featurescript

There are three types about CapType: START, END, EITHER
My question is: suppose a square sketch is extruded to form a cube, then the cube's edges have different CapType types. Is there a way in FeatureScript to trace the edges of a cube back to their originating edges or points in the sketch?
For example: CapType: START/END edges should be derived from a specific edge of the sketch after extrusion, while CapType: EITHER edges should be derived from a specific point of the sketch after extrusion.
Thanks.

qDependencymight be what you're looking for:
Sorry for the poor quality screenshot, but I've extruded a square sketch and then wrote a feature where you can pick an edge and it highlights the qDependency result in magenta (see the tiny dot?).
Copy the doc and play around with it.
