It is already possible. Just create an empty geometry in the partition and apply your "cluster material" on it.

thats one of the kludges, but its difficult to support, ie move around, track, rebuild, and manage, in a large pipeline

I find the SDK well documented for pass/partitions etc... What do you think is missing ?

SDK documentation is OK "SDK access" is not, proper oops access not strings

Something I always miss with the pass system is that you can't export passes with a model.
I understand it is not possible as models are under the scene_root model and passes aren't. A system to export/import passes used by a model is very useful. The merge scene system is a workaround, but not very handy.
