Default Reaper -> Softube Console 1 follow track selection assignment

Greetings,
I am using Reaper for years, love it.
Recently I have built mixing setup containing Qcon Icons.
Now the perfect, final extension for "hands on" mix would be the Softube's Console 1


But there are few flaws with the Reaper compatibility:
1. Auto track name catching -> Console 1 plugin cannot communicate with track it is on to get the track name, so the user has to input the name of track on every instance of plugin across the mix.
2. Auto track arranging - when adding the track in Reaper, and put Console 1 plugin on it, You have to manually arrange and move track numbers in Console 1 app.

and finally most important feature lacking:
3. Follow track selection (one direction).
That is one and only function that stops me from incorporating C1 to my setup.
So the console 1 would switch to the instance of the plugin which is on the track actually selected.
Softube developers point that the problems mentioned are Reaper problems, which they cannot overcome without Reaper Devs.

Now, is there any option to make this happen?

How much would it cost?

So I imagine the perfect sollution would work as follows:
I select the track using Icon (or even mouse), then instance of the C1 plugin residing on this track gets "focus" so I can use the C1 controller without looking on screen.

Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

best!
