I know it's not the first time I've heard it asked for, and referring users to a combination of AppleScript, cron, chewing gum and paste isn't very... mainstream.

Yes that would be a feature that I'd very much like to have. Guess I'm stupid, but I don't know how to "Applescript", "cron", etc..., I use software, I can't develop it.
