I'm sure Uniden would have loved to do that, but I think that might infringe on GRE's patents for their V-Folders which were essentially the same thing back in the old days of the PRO-96. I could be wrong - I'm not an attorney nor do I play one on TV.
You could accomplish this with mulitple SD cards. Set up one for normal listening and one for special events, POTUS visits, whatever. Then you can just swap out the cards when needed.

By the time I changed the MicroSD card (after dropping the batteries and the card at least once or twice) I'd have forgotten why I wanted to change profiles (at least in the 436).
I'm not sure it couldn't be implemented without infringing on the V-Folders patents. The x36hp appears to use a single XML file containing the profile data. If separate files were created for each user defined profile and a mechanism was provided to change the file read at startup (maybe an adaptation of the existing Startup-Key functionality), that would do the trick; and I think it would be enough different from the virtual folders concept as to not infringe (though I don't know the details of the patents).
This would limit you to using the same set of FLs and the same Full Database, but would allow a user to create usable profiles.
