EOS R8 Feature Request: Add "Direct Select of Sub to Detect" as a DIAL FUNC option for M-Fn buttom

Subject kind of says it all, but the M-Fn DIAL FUNC custom button is really powerful. I appreciate all the current options available for DIAL FUNC (white balance, drive mode, flash exposure compensation, Picture Style, metering mode, AF operation, ISO speed, and AF area), but it would be great if Canon would update the EOS R8 software to allow "Direct Select of Sub to Detect" to make it easy to quickly cycle through Subjects to use in Servo Mode.
