AEM Assets and InCopy

Does anyone know if Adobe has plans to make AEM Assets understand InCopy files?

I'd love to see Asset Link for InCopy, as well as for AEM Assets to understand the file format and prompt the user to update the link to an InCopy file that's been modified and placed back in AEM Assets.

Currently if you modify a photo or Illustrator file that resides on AEM Assets and re-open an InDesign file that has a link to that asset, ID prompts you to refresh the link and you can see the changed asset in your ID file.

This same workflow does NOT work with InCopy files. You CAN link to an icml file on AEM Assets, but you can't do the same with icma files. And if you DO link to an icml file on AEM Assets, it appears to break the functionality of it being an InCopy file, so the little icon is removed from the text frame. Updating the icml file on AEM Assets doesn't prompt InDesign file to refresh it. As soon as I relink to a local icml file, it refreshes and adds the little icon back to the text frame.

This means if you have an InCopy workflow and want to switch to using AEM Assets and Asset Link, you really can't.
