Transcription embedded in file?

I was wondering if in a near future it would be possible, once the transcription is generated by Premiere, to save it (as metadata?) and having it 'attached' to the file, so that when the file is imported into Premiere is already available?

@Iliocrandi Good news – as of Premiere Pro 25.2 and later, this is now possible. Go to Preferences > Media Analysis & Transcription and set the cache option at the top to "Next to the media as a sidecar file". Now when you transcribe source clips, it will cache the transcript next to the media file as a ".prmi" file with the same name. Then later if you import that media file into a new project, Premiere Pro will see the .prmi file and bring in the transcript without needing to re-transcribe.
