<p>Hi Josh,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>No I didn't! Although I don't know if that means it isn't possible, I didn't spend too much time looking into it because I found an alternate way for me to do what I needed to do. I feel like it should exist, although I also don't think alphas are studied
too commonly using Gate.<o:p></o:p></p>
