Triggers on two or more chains

Question

I was rereading the whitepaper earlier, and the section below struck me. I can't seem to find documentation on how to do this, and the whitepaper doesn't seem to elaborate any further. Is this coming in the intended future state, or possible with the current release?

A further benefit of supporting multiple blockchains is the ability for a server to create connections between the activity in different chains. For example, an institution may want the arrival of funds on one blockchain to trigger a corresponding transfer of funds on another.

There aren't any features currently in MultiChain to do this, but you can do it on the application level, i.e. use the APIs on one chain to detect an incoming payment, and then send an outgoing one on a second chain.
