Good
Another idea, which came up in my mind:
The inspector on the left of the project window has a tab called QuickControls. There, you can view activity and set (load) the eight default QC coming from a VSTi. But it should also be possible to re-assign a QC one by one. Once you click on one of the entries, a menu should pop up to change the selected QC. The menue lists (from what I remember) up to 128 controls defined for the VSTi.
