Custom Reticule per Unit?

I've got the custom reticules up and running and they work fine. Now I'm wondering if there is a way to assign certain given custom reticules to certain units (or preferably weapons).

I've been browsing through the Common folder and reading the hud files. I found this little section regarding the reticules.

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]Group("player1reticule")

{

    EventPosition("player1.weapon1.reticule.position")

    Position(0.500000, 0.315481, 0.000000, "Viewport")

    Alpha(0.650000)

    EventEnable("player1.weapon1.reticule.position")

    EventDisable("player1.weapon1.reticule.disable")

    Model3D("player1reticule_shape")

    {

        Mesh("hud_main_reticule")

        Scale(0.260000, 0.260000, 0.260000)

        Alpha(0.520000)

        ColorChangeRate(0.001000)

        EventEnable("initialize")

        EventColor("player1.weapon1.target.teamColor")

    }[/code]

And there is of course, the 1playerhud, 2playerhud, 3playerhud, and 4playerhud. Theoretically it would be possible to erase the contents of 2, 3, and 4 and fill it with the contents of 1, changing only the reticule mesh parameter.

The question then is, can you assign specific huds per unit (or weapon)?

[edit]

I found something called "HUDModel" in psychofred's odf guides under "Trackable Entity Properties". He doesn't say what it does or whether its active or not. Would anyone know anything about this?
