Customer suggestion and reference:

 

Provide the ability for PROC MI to perform so-called "jump to reference" multiple imputation.

That would indeed be very helpful. Plus the ability to provide a variable name that tells PROC MI what to do with each observation (e.g. patient #1 should be imputed under J2R and patient #2 under MAR). That comes up reasonably often (different imputation approaches depending on the reason for why a patient's data are missing). In fact, the well-known 5 macros (https://missingdata.lshtm.ac.uk/2017/04/06/gsk-five-macros/) have a good range of options.
