apt-mark hold, facsimile for wapt?

Hello!

I use WAPT a lot and I'm quite happy with the software!
There's something I feel is missing, though, and I think it could perhaps help improve WAPT even further.

I usually keep two or even three versions of a package in case a machine isn't compatible with the new version. I'd like to know if it's possible to lock a specific package version for a machine,

a bit like with apt-mark hold in Debian.

So if it exists, I haven't really found where it is. And if it doesn't exist, why not add a "hold" option that would allow locking the version of a package on a machine?

Thanks again!
