Do we have a resource to mark portions of a diffuse map as "tintable" ?

I was wondering while watching a devlog of another engine that a nice feature to introduce variety in characters and objects at a small cost is to have the ability to define sections of the diffuse map that can be colored at run time.
This for example allow you to use , lets say a tent model on pickets, and build an entire tent village out of one or two models that will use a different tint for the tarp to make them look unique.
DO we have some kind of ressource like this already? or am i blind and didn't realise it's doable out of the box?

Tinting would be nice. Looks like skinning is the "easy" solution at the moment. It costs extra disk space, but you can use a few models with 10 textures each to reskin your tent city.
