I have a entity ID shorthand in one of my DSLs:

Shorthand notation:

a,z {
  b,c {
     1 = snow
     2 = fox
    }
  d,e {
    1 = flying
    2 = monkey
   }
}

Fully exploded ids + values:

ab1=snow
ab2=fox
ac1=snow
ac2=fox
ad1=flying
ad2=monkey
ae1=flying
ae2=monkey
zb1=snow
zb2=fox
zc1=snow
zc2=fox
zd1=flying
zd2=monkey
ze1=flying
ze2=monkey

The shorthand appears at a given place in the DSL but the key names are referred to explicitly with the full name (ae2, ze2, ....).

This shorthand may seem a little odd with abstract names such as these, but in the real models it makes a lot more sense.

So my question is, will I be able to (at M5/M6 time) integrate the refactoring architecture from XText 2 so that I can rename the id of ze2 and it be able to rebuild the shorthand notation (if I create code for rebuilding the shorthand)? If not, what is the intended limit of its functionality?
