Versions/Iterations for Part Instances

Question

Version: Windchill 13.0

Use Case: I am trying to trace how a part instance (not a part) develops over time. I know that with parts, it is possible to view revision and version/iteration history. However, this does not seem to be the case for part instance objects (with the OOTB configuration at least).

Description:

If I had an existing part instance that was associated with a part configuration and I then edited the instance to make use of a different configuration, it seems that I have no way of being able to see that the instance was originally associated to the configuration it was initially configured to use. This is unless I change the revision of the part instance. In which case, the "History" tab of the instance would show the differences between the two revisions. Is there any way I can track changes made to a part instance prior to any increase of the revision for the instance, like I would be able to track the version/iteration history of a part between revision changes?
