Ah, I see. I didn't see the bit about it being a breakpoint (detour point?). That's what I get for skim reading rather than comprehending it. Visual studio will let you do this, but it's a manual step, by combining a normal breakpoint and an execute next statement, and you'd have to do this each time you hit the breakpoint.

Having it happen automatically? A fairly niche feature, but I can see a few uses for it. The component features are already there, so I don't think it would be difficult to implement in a debugger that already supported execute next statement.
