I was thinking of simplifying, rather than adding features. One could imagine a whole cluster-editing pop-up, but in the end it might not make editing any easier. Mind you, when consonant stacks are treated as grapheme clusters, it might be useful - Tibetan can have some fairly large legacy grapheme clusters, and if one tailors aksharas to be grapheme clusters one can get some monsters in the Tai Tham script - <NA, SAKOT, HIGH TA, MEDIAL RA, AA, SAKOT, LOW YA> (visually the base consonant is the ligature <NA, AA>, with dependent consonants arrayed around it) and <HIGH HA, SAKOT, NA, E, OA BELOW, I, TONE-1, SAKOT, LOW YA> spring to mind.
