Idea about laser designator

I, as many of us, heard that the Soflam may eventually be used as a laser designator. I think this is awsome and had an idea about it. What if the planes no longer had the little green boxes in their HUD pup up showing ground targets, and they would only see them and deliver accurate munitions if they were designated. This would force pilots to work with special forces on the ground in order to be able to see where ground targets and vehicles are and hit them. It would also allow ground vehicles to operate without always being seen from aircraft overhead.
