As you noticed there is no such scheme avaliable at present.
Perhaps something like that could be implemented in a new version.

You may post this as a suggestion for the next version in "Connect",
the place for submitting
suggestions and bug reports to the developers team:
http://connect.microsoft.com/onenote/

When done, pls drop a note with the URL in here so that we can jump in
and vote for your suggestion.
