You can achieve almost the same using b f'=''
Perhaps if you could turn off the warning written when the octave check fails, you could use this as the feature you are talking about, just writing b f='', and it automatically puts the f to the right place. However, it would be possible to implement a feature in the LilyPond editors (like LilyPondTool) to tell the direction while typing.
