In our structural analysis, we currently distinguish between network formers, intermediates, and network modifiers, based on sorting elements into static lists.
Intermediates can assume different roles depending on their chemical environment.
It may be reasonably straightforward to determine this role for a given glass structure and then automatically adapt the analysis accordingly (which e.g. determines whhether they would be shown as part of the "glass network" view; where the RDFs are grouped or whether they are shown at all; etc).
This is not a high priority issue
