Ability for Change Order Project Add-ons to calculate on a specific cost type subtotal

We need the ability to have a cost type add-on for a change order calculate as a percentage for that specific cost type and any other add-ons for that cost type.

Example, I have a contract that allows me the following markups on change orders: 30% labor tax on my labor cost, 15% OH&P on my labor cost PLUS labor tax and 6% OH&P on my subcontractor cost.  I cannot use a percent basis add-on that calculates on a subtotal because my allowable OH&P for each cost types is different.  If I use a cost type add-on for OH&P on labor, it only calculates my OH&P based on the labor cost, and not labor cost PLUS labor tax.  

A workaround I believe I have found is if I setup my labor tax as a markup.  I can then setup my OH&P for labor as a cost-type add-on that calculates on Cost plus Markup.  This seems like an unnecessary workaround and we should be able to have add-ons calculate on a subtotal for a specific cost type.
