Creation of meta annotations segments?

Hello,
it is possible to create a new tier, in which multiple annotation segments are summarized in a new meta annotation segment?
The goal is to get a compressed representation (one page) of a transcribed session. This would simplify the comparability of sessions.
Current Elan XML snippet:
...
<ANNOTATION>
<REF_ANNOTATION ANNOTATION_ID="a7" ANNOTATION_REF="a1">
<ANNOTATION_VALUE>value</ANNOTATION_VALUE>
</REF_ANNOTATION>
</ANNOTATION>
...
The same Elan XML snippet with a meta annotation segment:
...
<ANNOTATION>
<REF_ANNOTATION ANNOTATION_ID="a7" ANNOTATION_REF1="a1" ANNOTATION_REF2="a3">
<ANNOTATION_VALUE>value</ANNOTATION_VALUE>
</REF_ANNOTATION>
</ANNOTATION>
...
thanks for any answer!

This is currently not possible, but something like what you are suggesting has been part of the design of ELAN's data model right from the start and has been referred to as "multiple reference" or "co-reference" annotation. So far it has never made it to implementation, but it is still on our radar.
Although it is not decided yet how this could be implemented, the snippet could be something like this:
...
value
...
thus allowing to reference more than two other annotations.
