It could be useful to insert a "One Cycle" function in the oscillator and wavetable modules, similar to one found in LFO. It could help to quickly achieve transient sounds without worrying about using samples with their relative locations.

I'm afraid this is actually quite unlikely to happen. These modules are specifically optimized for the standard repetitive use (long story, let's just say that the "jumping to the beginning" is one of the most CPU heavy operations). I also quite don't get why would you want this. Sounds like a job for Attack modulator.

The way I understand it, you'd want a single cycle to trigger a click i.e. what engineers try to avoid with low sine waves or bad edits. If a wavetable is morphing, the transient might get mushy but having a click at the start might help define the note onset.
I don't know everything about Melda's instruments but, in general, you could use a sampler to trigger the single cycle then use the DAHDSR Delay amount to push the rest of the sound back however many milliseconds you need. Another way to accomplish it would be to set Oscillator to a very low constant frequency, adjust initial phase until it clicks then use an envelope to fade it out before it repeats. Oscillator goes down to about 1.5Hz so you should be fine isolating a click in terms of time to fade it out.
