User-defined tabulations

Is there in gVIM (I am gVIM user) a possibility to define
different tabulations widths in single file?

Like in a DTP software e.g. Indesign or Word,
I can set custom tabulations for any paragraph and they
are stored within a file.

Seems that the answer is no :( But maybe some work
on this was done or proposed? I am almost sure this
have been proposed or discussed at some time.
I have noticed that there is similar functionality in VIM
like markers, that are stored separately in side files.
In theory it could save the tabulation setups in similar manner?

I think also that it is not simple because tab char is used for
logical indentation in some languages and not only for column separation,
and these setups must not interfer with each other.
So it is sort of contents-dependent.

To be clear, I am not interestd in solutions which insert
spaces to align things. I ask about tabulations, i.e. setup of
column coordinates for individual lines, which
are _one_ tab char per column in a file.
