Hmmm, no. At the moment, strings can't travel in control direction, only in feedback direction. Adding the possibility to use strings as control values wouldn't be difficult. But then, something needs to happen with those strings, on the target side. And this is where things get interesting. If I now add a target "Set marker at position with custom name", this is too specific. At the end we would have hundreds of targets like that. The best thing in my opinion would be to be able to pass the string to a ReaScript. Then anything can be done with it! Unfortunately, REAPER doesn't yet allow passing strings to ReaScripts. At least not that I know of. But it could be possible to implement that using global variable communication between ReaLearn and ReaScript, something that could also power #480. Need to think about that / experiment with it.
