Feature Request: Remote control the Fenix with the Shimano STI

I have the Ultegra R8050 Di2 on my bike and the D-Fly-thing. I learned that one could remote control the Garmin Edge-devices via the Shimano (hidden) Buttons and that feature is GENIOUS!
.. But I am using my Fenix 6x Pro as my bikecomputer and I did not find a way how to remote control my Fenix via the D-Fly setup. Did I miss something or is the Fenix not supported for that feature? Are there any plans to change that?
Does anyone know if Garmin plans to add the Shimano D-Fly-integration to the Fenix 6 Pro, like they did for the Edge-devices? Thank you!

+1 for this! Can Garmin please add this functionality to their rather expensive premium watches? What is the rationale for not offering this?

As a cyclocross racer it would be epic to use the D-Fly buttons to mark each lap in a situation where auto-lapping isn't appropriate due to the highly compressed and twisty nature of courses and where it isn't feasible to take your hands off the bars to press the lap button manually. You don't really look at the watch much during races but to have the laps split out for analysis afterwards would be really useful, especially as it is often difficult to identify laps based on HR/power/elevation features etc.

3 years later... this is still very annoying. Any Plans of implementing this soon?
I actually would not have bothered to upgrade the Bluetooth connectivity of my Di2 if i would have known this.
