Queue worker action?

This is tedious and time consuming by always telling the worker what to do. Is there a way to queue up his tasks? I know Civ IV used to have this great feature! http://forums.civfanatics.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

automated workers can do that..

just give them the 'construct improvements (automated)' command

Well, no. Automated workers does not do what I want them to do. If there's a forest, I can prevent him from clearing it, but will he produce a farm or a lumberjack? No, I want to have control. So setting up a workers tasks would be heaven worth. Maybe the solution is to control the worker in the beginning, and then automate it after a while. Because late game is pretty uninspiring to tell the workers every turn what to do.

But there's no way to have that worker automated to a specific city?
