Tabs & Slots

Greetings
Before starting with Onshape , i was using Solidworks for wood laser cutting and wood box making , and i miss a very important feature , that is "Tabs & Slots"
which create finger joints between objects or sheets of metal/wood , it's too essential for wood working to be ignored , and doing this process manually is very time consuming ,
Solidworks introduced this feature in 2018 , and no other CAD software has it natively , NX , Inventor nor Fusion has this feature , i hope it gets added to Onshape , would be very helpful for everyone doing sheet metal/woodworking via Onshape , and would help me make the full transition from Solidworks to Onshape ,there is a several public features that tries to replicate this feature , but they are either buggy , or too basic , i hope this feature gets supported natively

here is a link to the feature explained in details :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCfQK-WfT-M
