playing correspondence games from position

the title contains pretty much everything what anyone would want to know about the idea.
I'd like being able to play correspondence games from a position by pressing create a game and then playing there or just being able to select an opening which I want to have as the position ( I remember that it was possible to do this in some tournaments)
I think that's only possible if you wanna play against a friend. I mean otherwise you could setup a position where your opponent is totally lost and he is forced to play it
that's right nooboss but there are two things:
the first one is that you can just abort the game if you notice that your position is totally lost and you only lose rating points by aborting when you're playing at a tournament so you're never really forced to play it
and the second one is that you could be able to see the the position before you join the game (that's another idea of mine)
also you're right, it's just possible to play games like those with your friends or the computer right now
