Air Source Heat Pump for Heating Hot Water

I've been reading through any available posts on the use of air source heat pump water heaters for heating hot water to coils. This is being pushed in the industry, and we are seeing more projects considering this as an option in lieu of non-condensing or condensing boilers.

From what I can tell there is no current way to do this in OpenStudio. Is this correct or does someone have an approach to approximate the performance?
