Ability to override the synthetic replication ETF breakdown data

Hello,
Currently, for synthetic replication ETFs such a CW8, the available breakdown coincides with the underlying basket of stocks that is currently swapped with the performance of the synthetically replicated index by the ETF manager.
Yet, investors are not really interested in this basket of stocks that is most often transparent to them. Rather, they prefer having visibility on the exposure offered by the synthetically replicated index. As an example, investing in the CW8 ETF gives you exposure to the MSCI World index (so largely exposed to the US market) but Getquin would rather indicate a very significant European exposure since the basket of stocks that is swapped is made of European stocks.
I understand it is not sustainable for Getquin to manually point to the right index data for all synthetic ETF. But it would great if the user could override locally (i.e. on their account) the current misleading breakdown data by pointing to the right index data (or to a physical replication ETF as a proxy).
Please let me know if anything is unclear in what I suggest above.
Thanks!
