So if you fill a room with water and release them in it, will marksdwarves shoot at them from above?

That's the plan.  From my experiments with one already in the river, I don't think that they automatically shoot at it but you can easily force them to target it by issuing an attack order.

Not as nice as a truly automated solution like you can get with goblins, but the fact that it can (almost) not be killed by bolts makes it a worthwhile endeavor.

Haven't had a chance to play with it since I captured it, though.  Things got busy this weekend.  Maybe in the coming week.
