Dynamic overrides will make this a reality, but there's still quite a bit of work to do before this is possible.

* @Andres Stephens - Trinumedia * Me either, but unfortunately, we'll have to do just that for a while yet. Static overrides should be finished for most datablocks in time for 2.81, but I think Dynamic Overrides will take a while longer. Of course, if you set up your render project the right way you'll be able to do this with static material overrides. Although, I don't think even static material overrides will be in 2.81, since challenges with the way Blender handles materials and node groups are hard to solve.

You can kind of achieve that with the view layers. Not exactly the same thing but its quite close
