Garmin 1000 - Holdings

Hey,

our flight school owns a cessna 172 equipped with the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit.
Now I am looking for a function to make the autopilot fly the holdings by itself.

When I program an approach, the Garmin also loads the appropriate missed approach and the autopilot can in the event of a go-around navigate the aircraft to the MAHP and enter the pattern.
But I was unable to find a function to tell the aircraft to hold over any position with a certain inbound track.
I read the entire manual, which stated nothing about this.
Actually I don't even know if the Garmin is capable of doing what I want, but I don't see the reason why it could not.

Do you have any ideas?
