Can I do a "connect through" connection?

Question

Hallo, all!
I'm currently using SqlDeveloper 4.0 EA2,
I tried to set a connection up to do the equivalent of the SqlPlus Syntax:
     connect MyUser[Scott]/MyPassword@MyDatabase
I've not found a way to do the same in SqlDeveloper, but of course I might have
overlooked something.
Any idea whether this can be done in SqlDeveloper, and how to do it?
Thanks in advance

Hi, Gary!
Thank you for your answer and the pointer to Bary McGillin's blog.
Unfortunately, the situation he describes is slightly different from the situation I described.
From Bary McGillin's blog:
The proxy privilege is granted using
alter user target grant connect through proxy;
Now, there is a slightly different way to grant connect through privileges which does not require the use of a proxy, i.e.
alter user target grant connect through my_personal_user;
The main difference as far as I'm concerned is that this allows me to "become" user target without knowing (or caring about) their passwords.
This is quite convenient in a situation where I have to do thing on behalf of half a billion users.
So, I'm looking for a way to set up a connection which allows my personal user to connect as target with only my personal user's password having
to be specified in the connection properties.
Sorry for not having been specific enough in my first post. Hope this is describing it clearer.
All the best
