Controller Classic Transfer / Export Structures - make Controller Web Import Specs and Lookups selection specific

Instead of having to import all Controller Web Import Specifications and/or all Web Lookup tables, it would be helpful if you could select specific Import Specifications and Lookup tables. (especially as Transfer/Export Structures is IBM's work around for exporting/importing lookups with conditional mapping).  It would make the function more user friendly for Controller Web users and prevent overwriting other user's import specs and lookup tables in error.   This selection is already available for Controller Classic specs and lookups.  Thanks
