We always need support in reviewing/improving features of EPICS Base.

Unfortunately, I believe what you want to do (and which seems
reasonable) is not possible.

You can work-around (if performance is not critical), e.g.,  by writing
a calcout device support
module that
  1. fetches a copy of the entire waveform
  2. modifies the target element
  3. writes the modified waveform back to the waveform record
