MATLAB: Is it possible to use analog triggering with a data acquisition session

Data Acquisition Toolbox

I am using a DAQ device with the session interface in Data Acquisition Toolbox. Is there a way to configure the acquisition to start on an analog trigger event?
For example, when a signal satisfying a specified condition is detected in software (software analog triggering), which I was able to do in the legacy interface with the following code: 
ai = analoginput('nidaq', 'Dev1');
ch = addchannel(ai,0:1);
ai.TriggerChannel = ch(1);
ai.TriggerType = 'Software';
ai.TriggerCondition = 'Rising'
ai.TriggerConditionValue = 0.2;
or, with a hardware analog triggering mode supported by certain DAQ device models (such as NI PXIe-6368), which could be configured in the legacy interface with the following code:
ai = analoginput('nidaq','Dev1');
ch = addchannel(ai,0:1);
ai.TriggerChannel = ch(1);
ai.TriggerType = 'HwAnalogChannel';
ai.TriggerConditionValue = 0.2;

As of MATLAB R2017a, the session interface supports hardware digital triggering for a start trigger; however, configuring a session to start on an analog triggering event (software or hardware) is not directly supported.
As a workaround, the following example shows an approach to programmatically implement a triggered data capture based on a trigger condition defined in software:https://www.mathworks.com/help/daq/software-analog-triggered-data-capture.html
