Partial Power Climb
I'm not sure why you would want to do a partial power climb, but one way to achieve what you're looking for is to do a full throttle LOP climb. This will reduce power and have a similar effect to retarding the timing since the LOP mixture burns slower - a very effective way to reduce CHT's...

The point I was trying to make, is that a partial power climb can benefit from a more conservative advance. I know that SDS has an LOP switch for cruise, which means that you have a more conservative advance curve until the pilot determines cruise configuration and switches to cruise mode. I was thinking that this can be automated, but I like the idea of pilot control.
Perhaps this idea is more about the limitations of competing systems than the SDS system.
