I'm afraid not. This is already a Wish List item, though whether it will
be looked at before the next release I cannot say.

You could do that, but it expects the lookup to yield the name of the
filter file, not the content.

Cross your fingers and hope I manage to get to the Wish List item! Very
shortly I shall be stopping development in order to pull the next
release together. This is a small item; I *may* get to it.
