Hello AJ,
I'm all time interested in the subjects "smart" - materials & objects. However, I'm not so sure that I understood your suggestion.

In the case aren't you referring to Save As... a material over another ?
This is open in the Objects Managers, allowing you to make the change from any pre-assigned material to a new one.
There are times when I need a new wall type and would like to copy all of the settings of one type to the new one to then edit. I know I can do a Save As but this isn't always going to be a type that I want saved to disc, it may be just for this particular drawing.
This would behave as an edited Symbol, which can be stored exclusively in "this" drawing and not interferring in the original hard disk stored ?
I guess that it works like this today, since if you don't re-load a type it keeps with its "local" adjusments.
Would you like to elaborate a bit more over this ?
Thanks,
Miguel
