ReportMiner - Define Data Region based on Column header pattern

From what I understand, data regions can be defined based on patterns in the data to be used. 
This does not help where the data may not be in common position or pattern matches other data found in the PDF.

An option to designate a data region based on the pattern of its header would solve this issue

For instance, I have an Order PO like thus
... lots of Order hearder infromation

...

Then we get to the order details table which has columns
Item  Rev     Desciption     Qty

1         A        Bolts              10
  2        A        Nuts              10

etc

To start the collective region I currently need to set a pattern based on the first line data of the order table, which is not unige
Instead if we could set Pattern finder = 'Item' and indicate to start the region in line 2 after finding 'Item' in the PDF then it would all work swimmingly.

 

thanks
