Not trivial as I understand it. There are some intriguing workaround 
ideas but the APIs themselves are not, as I understand it, accessible 
directly from Revolution.

No way to get this in the current release. I've been distressed over 
this any number of times. You can do some of the stuff on your list

of individual paragraphs) not at all.
