Photoshop Effects History (like AFter Effects)?

Question

Hello everyone,
I've been using photoshop for a couple years now, but have just started using after effects and love the Effects Controls Tab where you can see all the effects applied to each layer.  Is there anything like this possible in Photoshop?  I know there is a history, but it's the whole document history.  There isn't a history for each layer is there?  If no to all of the above, will Photoshop down the road ever consider this?  I think it would be extremely helpful to see the effects applied to each layer and then be able to access them again.  Sorry if there is this function and I just don't know about it yet.
Thanks everyone

No there isnt a history for each layer.
When you say "effects" do you mean layer styles?
[For example: You create a layer and add an outer glow and a gradient overlay. Ten steps down the road you tweak the gradient overlay. 20 more steps and you want to revert back to the original gradient overlay.]
If this is correct, im not sure how beneficial it would be or how many users would need such a function. You can save your layer styles and re-apply them to any object you want 10 days from now. (click "new style" in the layer style dialog box).
