replicate parts in assembly to sketch?

Hello,
is it possible to replicate parts in assembly to sketch geometry/ vertex/ points? only faces seem to work.
using only linear or circular patterns are often too limiting.
I'm trying to position and instance parts based on a parametric sketch layout. as a sort of top down parametric model .
(there is a feature in part studio based on featurescript, [Updated] Point pattern custom feature — Onshape, with this type of functionality, unfortunately no FS for assemblies)
possible use: position welding studs on sheetmetal parts (or position geometry without a real geometry/face counterpart, based on coordinates) position of posts for a construction based on layout plan...
basically this would allow to sketch out general positions an configurations and position parts or subassemblies relative to this "skeleton" (cfr skeleton models in CREO)

You can replicate to sketch profiles and edges! I believe it won't recognize points, but if you make a pattern of circles or rectangles for instance, you can definitely replicate to that. Was discussing it with another Onshape user earlier and we worked through an example, so wanted to post the screenshots here even if the question is 2 years old! (got permision to share).
