I don't believe QGIS can do this currently, but I think it would be relatively easy to implement in future versions. I'm surprised you would need to though most Stat programs can read dbf files such as the shapefile attribute table. Also have you considered keeping your point data in a database, many stat programs can also read directly from databases and a database is a good way to maintain data integrity. I personally use Sqlite or Postgres with QGIS, python and R all the time for my daily research needs. Note QGIS also has an easy to use R plugin that lets you send data to it in the QGIS interface and run all your stats without leaving the program.
