Has this been addressed in any of the supplements?

No, not yet.

Actually this has in discussed in the core, just as an idea for GMs. Too bad there aren't any rules for it

Been wondering if they release a book on the Artisan whether they'll handle this in there?

I made a homebrew Force Power tree for this and Sith Sorcery many months ago (including Control upgrades for Alchemy of the Flesh, Force Animation, and Life Transference) when I was reading through the Bane Trilogy and Dawn of the Jedi, but is it even confirmed to exist in the new canon?

The Sentinel career book is the career book for Artisan, and it didnt have anything that covered it.
