Can FS make derivable sketches?

in FeatureScript

As the title says. Is there any way to derive the sketches (as sketches, not extracted curves) made by a custom feature?

    no..best Ive been able to do is laboriously "Use" all the elements from a FS sketch to make a sketch sketch.

    I really want a better way to Use sketch stuff inside of featurescript so I can make modified versions of sketches. Now with MCP it might be possible for it to read and recreate all of the sketch elements. But I think this capability Josh T is asking about would be awesome as well.

    Bummer. Does anyone know what it is about feature-made sketches that makes them invisible to Derive, as opposed to normally made sketches or feature-made curves, surfaces, and bodies?
