yeah, this isn't possible. i've often thought about special functionality like this, but it's difficult.
along these lines, i always wondered if there were some way to merge lines with different move order. sometimes A, B, C, D is the same as C, D, A, B. could the program automatically merge these lines so that the SGF files can be simpler? the thing is, sometimes the same result through a different order makes a difference, like with ko's. hard to make automatic. i'd be interested in people's thoughts.

perhaps you could try a format such as move W[**] or W[xx] as meaning any move which isn't the first move in another variation from this node and a comma separated list for a smaller number of points which all require the same reply e.g W[aa,ab,ac].
as for your specific problem maybe something like SR[W[ab];B[ac]] could be recognised by the applet as 'from this node and lower nodes always reply to W[ab] with B[ac]' which may need to be cancelled later in the variation by ER[W[ab];B[ac]]. SR for standard response, ER for end response I was thinking.
