There is a similar thing being planned, but slightly different:  The
plan is to allow multiple objects to be edited at the same time, but
only have the actually changed values change.  Right now, if you edit
properties for a group of objects, you'll notice that they all change to
having all the same properties (try changing linewidth of differently
colored boxes in a group).  Attempts at doing this right have failed so
far, but it's one of my pre-1.0 goals.
