[amibroker] Making use of backtesting for patterns (not buy/sell signals)

I don't think this is currently possible, but I'd sure like to be 
able to use Amibroker's backtesting engine to search for patterns in 
prices and/or indicators rather than for buy/sell signals of a 
mechanical trading system.  What would be really useful for me would 
be to be able to record a begin/end pair of a pattern I've detected 
and then be able to peruse the collection of patterns found across 
stocks so that I can gather statistics on them (much like Thomas 
Bulkowski did in his "Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns" book).  

So, for example, I could double-click on a line in a list of 
discovered pattern matches and then Amibroker would immediately take 
me to the chart with the > and < range arrows demarking the begin 
and end area of the pattern.  In the commentary section, I could 
also have a writeup on the detailed statistics about the pattern.
