Feature Request: Option to specify brim extruder for individual parts

I've seen several posts about this and the answer is always that it's not supported.  I have a XL 5T and am finding that I commonly want to print multiple parts at the same time that are different colors.  Not being able to match the brim color to the part is problematic because it almost always leaves some of the brim color behind.  I've tried a variety of different brim settings, and it doesn't seem possible to get "perfect" separation while removing the brim and still have it do it's job of preventing the part from lifting off the build plate.  The little bits of color left behind are especially difficult to remove from curved surfaces.

Here is a screenshot of something I printed recently.  It was successful and the brim did it's job, but I spent quite a lot of time trying to clean up the lighter color parts.  It would have been much easier if I could have specified which extruder to use for the brim on each part.

I second the motion.  Right now I can get around the problem if only two colors are involved by swapping the colors in each tool if the .  Seems like whatever color it decides to start with is the color you're going to get for a brim.  Actually having multiple tool brims might get weird.  Even in sequential mode, brims always come out first.  It would be pretty useful to have, at the very least, a tool choice for brim output.
