Tagging in @draganescu who implemented this feature!

Pulling in information for 6.2 purposes if we want to include this fix (if one can be done in time) from slack from @hellofromtonya:

I assume this will require a fix within the packages. If it can be fixed before RC1, then it can be included in the @WordPress package updates planned for tomorrow.

Added to the 6.2 board for now just in case. Otherwise, can punt as this doesn't appear blocking.
