Preauthorizing Credit Cards with Chip

Is Toast looking at adding the ability to preauthorize credit cards using the chip rather than the magnetic strip?  Since it currently only uses the magnetic strip, I feel it puts us at a disadvantage if a customer initiates a chargeback on a preauthorized card that is closed out to the card on file.  I was at a bar while on vacation that was using OnePos and they were able to preauthorize cards using the chip, so I know it's possible.

In the August product updates post they mentioned that it is due to 'card brand security protocols', and recommend using the chip read (dipping) over the contactless NFC (tapping)
