Same question here, I never saw this construct. Anyhow: I think it should not be too hard to add capabilities to support what you need. Unfortunately, I am currently quite busy with paid work. If this is for your company, you may consider purchasing a support contract or sponsoring the development of such a feature. If you use rsyslog for profit, that route is probably far less expensive than using a lot of time to tweak the config.
