Anyone knows if there is a way already to achieve that?

Sadly (IMHO), Graphisoft went down the GDL scripting route to build complex forms, rather than using graphical modelling techniques.
While the programmer may find it a more powerful technique, I for one don't have the programming skills to describe the geometries I wish to achieve.
This lack has been addressed by various add-ons that are available, e.g.
-zoom gdl (by abvent makers of Artlantis)
-GDL toolbox (was free but discontinued after AC9)
and more recently
-Maxonform
(to name a few)
Aside from the obvious issue (increased cost) there is also one of availability (development seems to lag major AC releases).
In other words, this issue remains.
BTW you might want to check out Cigraph who have just released a free tool allowing rotation of objects (!!!! - so basic, and yet so needed!!!) from within ArchiCAD
