I know that, but I'd like that done automatically (or at least automatic by option).

Currently you can open and modify (to some degree) a board without the footprint archive, but have you ever tried adding another component that is embedded in the board? Doesn't work at all, as they're not visible in the add component dialogue. That at least should be the case.
