You really can't do it that way, unless someone knows something I don't. Typical workflow (for me) for creating something in poser is: Open poser, create a new category, import a mesh file (command in the file menu), go to setup, setup bones and groups, go back to pose and try it out, if it works add to library.
In other words, there is no way to tell Poser to place the OBJ file in geometries... even if you placed your mesh there before importing it... Poser would simply save another OBJ file in the library folder you save the object to. The only way to set it up as you suggest is the painstaking editing of CR2 files, and I don't think everyone is comfortable doing that. I only started doing that last week, and I've been a Merchant for nearly two years. I'm not really comfortable with hacking files in general.
I think if you start insisting that merchants edit their CR2 files to place parts other than where Poser defaults them, you're going to scare away a lot of newbie merchants... and we were all newbies once. Just think, you might scare away a fledgling Mehndi, or Syyd, or other promising creator, and that would be a loss for all of us.
