This project doesn't support parabolic reflective surface. But you can use the Glass (Other shapes) tool to create almost any shape you want.

That is for lenses. The question is about the reflectors / mirrors. There is no way to do that right now other than manually approximating by houndreths of line segments, which can't be done properly by hand accurately, plus once you create it and want to change it, everything needs to be done from scratch.

It should be possible to create an arc of a parabola (and other functions, even maybe allow freeform function formula for it), and minimum / maximum so you can also make off axis / offset parabolas, which are very useful in practice.
