This is way out of scope for a downstream bug report and should be
raised upstream instead. Upstream is most likely in a position to
evaluate if such a feature is feasible to implement in NetworkManager.

And since I don't have a setup like yours, I'm not in a position to
properly file such an upstream bug report.
I would thus like you to do that instead at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/
and report back with the bug number.

Regards,
Michael
