Yes, it should but we was looking for a generic method

I think that r.li.* should work, the problem right now is in
g.gui.rlisetup because "/" is a character not allowed for the name of
new vectors.
g.gui.rlisetup creates a new vector for any selected features and it
add the cat as suffix for the name of the new vectors
