Is layer specific snapping available in Field Maps?

Does anybody know if it's possible to set layer limited snapping in Field maps (or any web map for that matter?)

I remember ArcMap's "Classic Snapping" toolset allowed you to remove layers from the snapping pool.

It means you could prevent field workers from snapping to hideously complex vector layers in their field map base data, whilst also being able to snap to other layers that are part of their snapping workflow.

An example of this would be using an EOS Arrow and Trupulse laser rangefinder to survey point vertices of a shape (eg kerbline) and then collect that edge with a polyline kerbline feature template by snapping to those points.

If it's not already possible then please like this post and I'll get it submitted as an Idea.

@David_Brooks this capability is not currently available in ArcGIS Field Maps. There's an existing idea for this already you can add to.

It appears like this is now possible but you can only select Feature Service references for snapping.

@DougMorgenthaler any update on the ETA? I also need this implemented as user are constantly snapping to other features and not noticing until later.
