There are at least 2 ways to do this now.  Using a Support Blocker you can select from the "Per Model Settings" and alter the settings for Overlaps.  The Support Blocker then becomes a Mesh Modifier and you can add Infill Density as one of the settings to alter.  Just move and scale it as you would a model.

The other method is specific to helping support roofs.  "Gradual Infill Steps" adjusts the infill density as it approaches a roof so the roof skin has sufficient support from the infill while the lower portion of the model will have sparse infill.

 

This is with a support blocker set to 100% infill density while the rest of the part is at 10%.  It would be just as easy to orient it horizontally.

        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
