It can. Read the manual before posting questions like these?

For starters, check out Section 13.10 of the manual ... if you then need further help come back and ask more.
And another word of free advice. Use a little human psychology.
Making statements like "if not it sucks" isn't going to make people inclined to go out of their way to help you.

First, you need to setup your control device in the properties dialog box. Then, whenever you want to control a track or effect parameter, use MIDI learn and twiddle the knob, fader or whatever.
For the second question, I'm not exactly following what you are looking for, but you can "draw" automation points on any available fx parameter the plug-in reports. Once an effect is inserted in a track all of the reported parameters show up in the "envelopes" window. You put a checkmark in the box under "visible" if you manually want to draw the values -- you select "arm" if you plan on recording changes using a MIDI control device.
Edit: Sorry, I cross-posted with Nicholas (Geoffrey). Yes, the manual gives you step-by-step instructions on how to do this. What I typed above is from memory.

Have some patience please! This is a peer to peer forum. People here will generally do what they can to help you out, but you can't always expect an answer within 10 minutes!

1 solved..
what about 2 (link between parameters)
how do you link between 2 different parameters? (like the group option, but for fx parameters) ?

Every VST plug-in has a wet/dry balance control in its window (just to the top left of the output VU). This is assignable.

maybe I didn't explain it properly...
I want to link one parameter to another parameter (without a midi controller)
to route between 2 or more parameters.
understand?

If I understand you properly, there's no simple and direct way I know that does this.
But a method that comes to mind is to use Parameter Modulation. I do this often for example with the plug-in JS stereowidth with width gain and center gain.
Although not linked directly to each other, both are linked to track Volume (or some other volume) one positive, the other negative, so that as one goes up, the other goes down, and of course vice versa.

yea
but this is very cheap solution :/
I like to link EQ parameters to create harmonics and many other cool ideas.
not to mention XY controllers.
damn...
no virutal controllers for reaper other than the parameter modulation ?
not even a xy controller ? :/

Well I guess its a good thing that more than 1 other software offers this feature.....so your options are still open if "link" is a must have for you.
I myself find that Reaper finds my needs and then some.....plus almost everyone on this forum is very respectable and helpful.

No, what I meant to say is that you can't expect for Reaper to have it all out-of-box. It still has some crucial things missing, but most people here hopes that it will eventually be implemented.
So, if you want XY pads, you can find various controller VSTs around, and have them loaded inside Reaper.
You could also check the chapter in manual related to Parameter linking.

It is possible to link parameters to parameters, that's what Parameter Modulation is there for.

Looks like he's got all you guys going
And, 0xi63n, if you need parameter linking, then Reaper is not for you ....
Or, you could raise a Feature Request in the FR forum.

This dude seemed like a troll from the first moment. Oh, no, you've have to automate two parameters separately! Yes, it would be cool to have this feature (I voted in the thread), but to ignore the other 99% of the features at the expense of this one thing is plain silly. You could map two controllers and record the automation in one pass, for that matter. Since I don't have an XY pad, that's what I do for XY controllers anyway.
