Pulling Application Variables From PDQ Deploy -> PDQ Inventory

I'm trying to create a collection in PDQ Inventory for out of date software running within the company, PDQ Inventory already has a large amount of auto-collections which does this for me and is very useful. However, there are a small amount of packages which we have to create ourselves, Cisco AnyConnect being one of them.

When we create the manual packages in PDQ Deploy we specify the application name and version number of the one we downloaded, the idea we had was that we could then pull the this version number into PDQ Inventory and create our own collection based on our applications which are out of date.

I understand this can be done using PDQ Inventory variables but ideally I would like to be able to just reference the application package from PDQ deploy.

So, my question is, is it possible for PDQ Inventory to grab information from a custom made PDQ Deploy package, which would then auto-update when the package updates and fed into a collection?

I would like to see this as well since I do not think you can do this currently without doing a manual export/import. However, in the upcoming release of PDQ Inventory, you will be able to right click on an application and have an option to build the collection based on that application. It's not the same thing, I know, but it will help in this situation.
