something has been running around in the back of my mind for a couple years now, I am trying to remember where I learned it.

when using a ranged weapon instead of a penalty for aimed fire, the player would remove dice from skill and add it to the damage roll.

now I know that is how quick draw works for dice adding to initiative, but I thought I had seen it for aimed fire also.

This option was discussed in the SpecForce Handbook, under the optional damage rules sidebar.

FWIW, the rule book also has rules for called shots in 2R&E. I don't have it handy, so can't give you a page number.

Yup. Called shots have a difficulty based on how small it is..

Page 91 R&E rule book
Quote:
against a small target, such as a specific part of a
target's body or shooting a weapon out of a target's
hand.
Add +1D to the difficulty for a target 10 to 50
centimeters long. Add +4D to the difficulty for a target
one to 10 centimeters long. Add +8D to the difficulty for
a target less than a centimeter long.
Example: Thannik is using his blaster skill to
shoot at a stormtrooper at medium range (Moderate
difficulty, difficulty number 12). He decides
to shoot the blaster out of the trooper's
hand: the weapon is about 30 centimeters long,
so this called shot adds + ID to the difficulty. The
gamemaster rolls ID and gets a 4 — Thannik's
new blaster difficulty is 16
