Any way to copy visemes as keyframes to After Effects?

I was wondering as Character Animator does this nice computing of lip sync from audio: I guess, the visemes are like keyframes triggering the mouth shapes. Is there a way to copy this information to After Effects to get like toggle hold keyframes, e.g. stating the corresponding key numbers for the 14 mouth shapes?
As Character Animator can benefit from AE's face tracker, it would be nice being able to copy data the other way around as well. 

Thanks!

    Strange about the embeds - another try to upload at least the gif again. Thanks!


    Impressive workaround! Almost sorry to say that a new Copy Visemes for After Effects command (right-click on a viseme take bar, just above the visemes themselves) has been added to the recently announced, soon-to-ship, version of Ch (1.1).

    Not yet. But this is a common request we hear at http://adobe.com/go/ch_wish - you're not alone, people want more data coming in from CH to AE. Like even if my handles came in as nulls...man that would be awesome for tracking purposes.

    Anyway, agreed - thanks for the feedback!

    Cool - sounds like it's gonna happen - hopefully sooner than later
    Yep, getting hold of all the animation data would be great!
    Thanks for replying Dave!
