Displaying Material Description

Does anybody know how to display the material "description" ?
I would like to display the material "description" in the title block but unless I'm missing something it's not possible?
Note: Not "PTC_MATERIAL_NAME"
 
The material parameters have the form material_parameter:MTRL_#. You can determine the material_parameter by opening the parameter dialog box and look by material. To determine the # the only way I've found is to open the relations dialog box and select the insert parameter name from list icon, look by material, and add it to the relations area.For example AL6061was &PTC_MATERIAL_DESCRIPTION:MTRL_39 looking at the list in WF4. I'm not sure PTC added description text though so that may be something you need to add.
