I see. I understand the desire to have that functionality.
One aspect of why we can't currently easily support this is
because we do not support *prescription* inside GNUmed at

However, when using the new prescribe-by-document-template
functionality in 1.3 something like the above can be
affected by appropriate use of active text snippet
placeholders.
