Map a text layer to a 3D object surface

Adobe had just introduced importing 3D objects - and text layers are able to be converted to "3D Layers."

But what seems to be missing (correct me if I'm wrong) is the ability to select a surface of a 3D object and apply a text layer to it. This would be a great feature inside AE - expecially if it is compatible with solutions like Dataclay Templater (which works with 3D Text layers if you apply it BEFORE converting the text layer to a 3D layer). This would make 3D mogrts with text variables possible as well.
