This was possible with the first implementation of the trapper, but was discarded in the end (it was only for the trapper).
As @8BitCrab says, we might see something similar soon for combat classes.
Also, there’s this recent mod from @Wiese2007:

But for combat classes too, so not for the functionality you mentioned 
If you have too many hearthlings, it would be too much micro-managing.
