Can "Include Routes in Border" be controlled at the part level?

Machine Token - Profile Panel Edge
A selected profile for The Machine Token, Profile Panel Edge, does not seem to update if you modify the profile and re-draw the part. I was making my own profile for a custom finger pull on a door.

Since you can array in both X and Y on a bore token, it would be great if the same thing could be done with the HWR array token. It would help us out a lot for things like z-clips, standoffs, etc, to be able to use a single token to product a grid of hardware. Please let me know if this exists and I am not aware.
