I've done a similar thing with Verisign Payflow.  You should be able to 
specify the transaction type as a pre-auth in the Order Route for 
Authorize.net (assuming you are using 4.8.2); then add field(s) to the 
transaction table and the import code in etc/log_transaction to save the 
transaction id and any other needed code as returned by Authorize.net 
(these should be available as session variables, not sure of their names, 
but check the docs on Order Routes).  You should be able to settle the 
transaction later with those codes - but yes, at this point you will have 
to write the code yourself if you want it to happen automatically when you 
ship an order via the UI.
