Post From: OpenChartOrGetChartReference using multiple services

I took the following text, from the OpenChartOrGetChartReference documentation, to mean that the symbol had to be in the local data service symbol set. In fact, now that I have tried it, the symbol and interval need to match an existing local chart OR the symbol needs to be from the local data service.

Symbol: Set this to the symbol for the requested chart. The symbol must be in the format required by the selected Service in Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings . These will be the symbols that you will see listed in File >>Find Symbol. In some cases for Historical charts, the underlying symbol will be different. You do not want to use one of these underlying Historical chart symbols. For example, in the case where there is a different underlying symbol for a Historical chart, you will want to specify the symbol you see in...

Any idea when you might add this capability? The ability to programmatically access the desired data seems critical, whether the data is from the local service or from another SC instance. I could come to like the architecture of separate instances of SC as dataservers, as long as the data can be accessed.

Can you suggest any workaround in the meanwhile?
