Append User PHP function to String format dropdown?

PHPMaker General Discussion (PHPMaker)

This setting allows us to select various php formating functions for our View Tags:

Fields->View Tag->Format

The help guide explains that we can also use our own Custom function for String formats:

Fields->View Tag->Format->String->String function->my_global_php_function({value}, time(), $whatever)

If I am using my_global_php_function on many fields, it would be very handy if I could have it populate in the dropdown with all of the inbuilt String functions.

Q. Is it possible to somehow append our own global functions to the String format dropdown?

[I know we could make a Custom View Tag and use the Custom View Tag dropdown instead, but still interested in seeing if above is possible].

I don’t find anything in the help file that you can add your own functions in that setting to select.

From PHP Help menu regarding Format String → String function in View Tag (under Field Setup topic):

If the string function name is not listed in the dropdown, you can enter your own function name.

You may manually type your own function name but not selectable from the dropdown.
