The search for electric dipole moments of elementary particles with molecules has been instrumental in setting very strict limits on possible new physics, but a challenge for the next generation of such experiments is to use molecules which allow both laser cooling and very high suppression of systematic effects. While polyatomic molecules have been previously suggested for such purposes, the present work goes one step further by studying molecules containing multiple metals and showing that this approach may open the door for the control of metal species that cannot easily be laser-cooled otherwise.
