That's really something that should be done with AppleScript, certainly not automatically. I also don't want to add a pref or action for it, it does not make the threshold. You can always copy/paste them. Apart from that it's still not clear to me what support there should be. There already was some discussion about this on this list, and I never got a good proposal what it is that BD should be doing. BTW, spotlight comments are accessible in AppleScript through Finder.
