IES lights orientation

Hi, any chance to make the orientation of the ies lights defined by their orientation in the scene and not only on the light parameters? This is quite handy if you have ie: spotlights with different orientations, etc.
Thanks

As an alternative if you're using 2.0, if your beam is symmetric and not too wide you can use a planar emitter and change the value in Emission » Distribution » Coordinate space to Normal space.
