No "fixture box point" for setup origin?

Fusion has come a long way the past 10 or so years I’ve been using it, but I'm disappointed to find there’s no “fixture box point” option available for specifying the work origin. It would be really convenient, as I'm currently using a custom vacuum chuck top plate I just spent the last few hours milling. I would really love to be able to pick the lower left corner of the box that encloses the selected fixture body.

It might also be nice to be able to choose *any* body to use to get a box for a box point origin option.

 I'm not just missing how to do this (without diving into the manufacturing model), am I?

For now I would add a "false" datum to your fixture model. ie: a circle in the center. You then use Selected Point and select the top of the cylinder. This will use your fixture top/center as the g54.
