I feel like you summed it up well when you described the difficulties of creating such a system.
If such a thing was feasible I would bet it would have already been implemented.

Such a thing already exist, I just didn't want to spoil the idea with pre-made options, to see what we would come up with.
If the idea dies with the first difficulty though, we won't go far indeed :)
