Markdown resolution in Setup mode

I only recently discovered that if I put an “*” before and after the Players and Layout names (or any part of the names) in Setup mode and I have resolve markdown checked in the project info dialog that it displays in italics wherever a related token is used in a page template. Is this an unsupported feature? The only mention of Markdown resolution in the documentation talks about the Project Information dialog. I can’t find any reference to one being able to use it elsewhere, like in the Setup tab. Where else might one be able to use Markdown?
