Can you change the track matte linking tool to be like the parenting tool in After Effects?

If I apply a track matte filter to a clip in premiere, the parameters make me choose what layer to apply the effect to (via a drop down that selects the layer). if that particular file moves to a new layer on the timeline, the track matte connection between the file is now essentially 'broken' or unlinked, and the image goes white and you have to go back to the parameters and tell it the new layer to look at (i.e. clip is now on track v6 instead of v4 for instance). and this can be a real pain in the butt when moving files around on your timeline.  But in Adobe After Effects, if you take a file and parent it to a certain layer or assign it a track matte, you can you move that layer anywhere and the track matte stays in tact and isnt unlinked. Premiere shoud adopt this same technology.
