This is what I considered to be the great strength of the original Entrez 
interface.  It may be that the functionality is there, but we don't know 
where it is, or that NCBI doesn't realize how useful this was.

I will talk to Jim Ostell (again) about restoring this functionality, if no 
one has already done so.
