Navigate to specific track using MIDI Remote API

I am working on a MIDI Remote script for a custom controller. As far as I can tell, the only way to navigate between tracks via the API is one track at a time using TrackSelectionAction. This can be especially inconvenient when multiple automation lanes are visible.

Is there a way to go from, for example, track 1 to track 3 without stepping through track 2 and automation lanes?

If not I would suggest an enhancement to allow direct selection by track index or unique name.

In a mixerZone, you can always jump to any of its channels. Example:

var midiremote_api = require('midiremote_api_v1')

var deviceDriver = midiremote_api.makeDeviceDriver("Test","Mixer Zone","m.c")

var midiInput = deviceDriver.mPorts.makeMidiInput("anInput")
var midiOutput = deviceDriver.mPorts.makeMidiOutput("anOutput")

var detectionUnit=deviceDriver.makeDetectionUnit()

detectionUnit.detectPortPair(midiInput, midiOutput)
    .expectInputNameEquals("loopMIDI Port")
    .expectOutputNameEquals("loopMIDI Port 1")

var surface=deviceDriver.mSurface
var mapping=deviceDriver.mMapping

var buttonsSelect=[]
for(var i=0;i<8;i++){
    var buttonSelect=surface.makeButton(i,0,1,1)
    buttonSelect.mSurfaceValue.mMidiBinding
        .setInputPort(midiInput)
        .bindToControlChange(0,i)

    buttonsSelect.push(buttonSelect)
}

var page=mapping.makePage("Mixer")
var mixerZone=page.mHostAccess.mMixConsole.makeMixerBankZone("mixerZone")
mixerZone.excludeInputChannels().excludeOutputChannels()

var channels=[]
for(var i=0;i<8;i++){
    channels.push(mixerZone.makeMixerBankChannel())
    page.makeValueBinding(buttonsSelect[i].mSurfaceValue,channels[i].mValue.mSelected)
}
