Do the G4 series contain a DMA on timer break feature?

The RM0440 ch. 28.3.18 rev7 mentions on page 1128:

> An interrupt is generated if the BIE bit in the TIMx_DIER register is set. A DMA request can be sent if the BDE bit in the TIMx_DIER register is set.

Unfortunately, the DIER register does not contain a BDE bit. Additionally there is no DMA line available for the break (unless it uses the TIM_TRIG line).

Is this sentence a remnant from initially planned features, or are the other parts just missing?

Thank you.

EDIT: As a note, how I approached my desired solution without DMA on break:

I used the GPIO/EXTI module to trigger the DMAMUX request generator to kickoff my DMA transfer.
