Hi Dale,
it's not easy, but doable.
This topic popups from time to time, but this feature is not implemented
yet.
https://yhetil.org/guix-devel/20220706112011.77c71a94@marvid.fr/
I have spare time tomorrow and can try to implement it, however Idk how
much time will it take and if I don't finish tomorrow, there is no
guarantee that I'll finish it anytime soon.
