You can also use Playlist scripts in Reaper to get similar workflow.
See this thread:

There are also some example videos included in that thread.
The latest version (v36) of the Playlist scripts package is here:

Some advantages of Playlist scripts compared to S&M Resources:
- All edits are automatically saved. No need to click save button. No risk to lose any edits when switching to different comp.
- Better handling of multi-track comps.
- You can (optionally) see all comps at the same time.
- You can filter the visibility of comps based on time selection.
- You can audition alternative playlists/comps without changing the current active (main) playlist.
- You can clearly see which tracks have multiple comps. You immediately see which track each alternative comp belongs to. In S&M Resources you need to rely on template naming only.
- Everything is saved to normal project file. You (or other project members) don't need to install any extensions to get access to playlists/comps. Actually track templates saved by S&M Resources are also normal Reaper files, so I guess you could also import those to any project without installing S&M extension. But manually linking those template files to tracks in a project is still a bit awkward.
