Call deck with OSC string instead of index

[p8guitar]

Is it possible with OSC to choose a deck with its name instead of it's index?
To select a deck called "Hall of Fate" I tried this synthax:
/composition/decks/Hall of Fate/select 1
But it doesn't work. Of course one can use the number of the deck like this:
/composition/decks/9/select 1

But because I have a lot of decks (one for every song), choosing the deck with its name would be very helpful! I'd like to be able to change the order of the decks without destroying the mapping.

Nice that you read every post, even the double-posts...
Can you help me with this question?

Opening a deck via OSC string is not possible.

no but you can do something with code

Sending a string of "?" to the /composition/decks/X/name address will return its name

So you could iterate through the deck addresses asking resolume for the names. Store the names in an array and then use that as a lookup table to know which deck is in which position, allowing you to load the deck over OSC even if you've inserted or deleted decks from your comp. Obviously you'd have to update your look up table directly before calling the deck to ensure nothing has changed but that shouldn't be too much of an overhead providing you don't have thousands of decks in a comp.
