They're working on that for the FCS Mounted Combat System, if I recall correctly. You have been able to hand-off designate targets for laser guided artillery rounds (and artillery can be mounted on armored vehicle platforms) for several years, already, and they're working on precision guided mortar rounds.

How about adding a fourth position to the tank. This new position has new viewing modes and the ability to laser targets for planes and helis.

^ not much point in that imo, 6 ppl in squad, thats 3 tanks or 2 tanks carring 2 extra ppl (usually an officer and an X) having an extra spot just means that the officer or X will sit in that instead of the 50.

though a case can be made for an extra spot in tanks for other reasons.
