Merging FileMaker Snapshot Links

The new FileMaker 11 Snapshot Links look like a nice way to track a found set and could be stored in a container field for future reference but I would like to get more out of it.

I am wondering if you could import the individual elements from the Snapshot file into separate FileMaker fields and later merge separate Snapshots to create a combined found set or new Snapshot Link?

Playing with the Snapshot file in a text editor it looks like you could merge separate Snapshots by confirming that they used the same "baseTableID", updating the "rowCount" and combining the record numbers from each Snapshot Link.

I am not very familiar with FileMaker XML imports and exports so I do not know if it is even feasible the import and separate the different attributes in the .fpsl Snapshot Link file and recombine and export them to a new .fpsl file.
