PAW Selector Widget - Default Element

We have several PAW book using selector widgets (dimension tiles) that are based on subsets. As we know, saving the book when a specific element is selected will cause the book to open up using the same element next time.

However, there are cases when the subsets underneath change over time (like adding new version snapshots for example), and we would need the book to open with the last element in that subset.

Is there any way to default the selector widget to a specific index, rather than element name? Like for example, having a PAW property on the selector widget to say Default Display Index = 1,2,3, etc ? Do you know if this option is in the works?

This would be really useful in both PAW and PAfE, like they way SUBNM used to work in Perspectives when you could use an index rather than a member that someone may not have access to or may no longer be in the underlying set.
