Independent snapshots of guest OS vs data.

Consider the following scenario:

The backing storage is ZFS and I would like to be able to independently snapshot and roll back the OS and the data disks for a particular guest.

It would be easy enough to do this on the ZFS level by just individually rolling back the data sets per snapshot, but what is the best way to implement this in proxmox?

I don't see any method within the web interface for controlling which disk images are snapshotted.

Note: I'm not in a situation right now where this would be necessary, but it would be nice if there's a way to accomplish this. Sometimes there's a change to the operating system of the guest I'd like to roll back, without rolling back changes to say, a database on a separate virtual disk.
