Categorizing parameters

Hi. I want to know if there's any way to assign a category to a parameter in TemplateData, or if there are plans to support it in the future. It would allow to generate tables like w:es:Plantilla:Ficha de persona, with sections.

No, I'm not talking about MediaWiki categories: I said if there's a way to group parameters with common features, e.g., for Infobox person, there would be sections like 'Personal info', 'Education', 'Career', and so on. It would allow including sections in TemplateData tables.

There was some talk about having parameters "connected" – so, if I insert "author first name", then it will automatically know that "author last name" is wanted, too. That hasn't been built, and I don't know when it might happen.
