Not that it would do it for you - as the specialised software does with specific fields for all the things they've dreamed up - but you could soon create your own templates for character topics ("topics" are online help versions of "scenes"), that carry whatever you wanted.
Because H&M is not designed with this in mind you'd have to create your own structure to a certain extent - but there would be nothing stopping you from creating effectively the same tree layout on the left as what you see in most of the writing software I've seen.
It's an interesting thought anyway, and for those with more "interesting" project requirements than a typical novel such software could be useful.
