Yes you can. Just define it as TD queue.

As a matter of fact, I am also very much interested in such an option.
Somehow I have never used TD queues, so a little more information would be welcome.
Pretty please?

Sure. You can find it all in the fine manuals:

- The concept of Transient Data
- Defining a TD queue
- Reading the TD queue
- Writing to the TD queue
- Inquiring TD queue attributes
