Is there a way to have QLC automatically show a fixture's controls (contained in a frame page) when activated with a button press in the Virtual Console when a show is running?

I have a few dozen buttons on my Virtual Console, each one enabling a different effect to a video wall. Each effect has its own page in a frame containing its unique controls that I can adjust on the fly.

I have worked around the issue using hotkeys on my keyboard (Shift/F1-12), by assigning the same hotkey to the fixture button and corresponding frame page. Just wondering if I can have these elements linked through a single button press?

Picture that might help

You could use Loopback channels to change the pages of a multi page frame.

You will find an example overhere: viewtopic.php?p=70367#p70367


Please note that in this example the Cue Lists are the same size as the Frames, so they fully cover the headers of the (underlying) Frames.
You need to reduce the size of the Cue List, to get access to the settings of the Multi Page Frame.
