It's something I am still thinking about. I'd like to provide it but there are some drawbacks. Outside the UK, many agencies would take a very dim view of pilots doing this for themselves, so there's a possibility I would have to make it UK only. Also, there needs to be zero chance of any user thinking they've opened a fligthplan but it not having actually worked. I think this would mean we'd need people to do it as a manual step just before takeoff.

Was mentioned recently in a popular UK GA Forum, but can this be investigated please?
Quite often in UK, especially when departing from smaller airfields, it isn't always possible to get a FPL activated in a timely manner.
If the departure airfield won't provide a FPL activation service then you have to rely on the, usually, very busy London FIR frequency.
If SD offered a FPL activation feature, with some kind of easily viewable confirmation message/status, then I think this would be a very good enhancement.
