But in Qtractor I do have a choice of what MIDI channel (or any/omni, for that matter) I'm sending signal to on that particular track... So, no? No way for the plugin to retrieve any info from the host (I mean specific info, not just instantiated, port enum et al) I guess it makes sense since it would introduce a breaking point. Sorry, I don't really speak english, I'm just persuaded I do.

Is there a way to retrieve this info (and others, ideally) from the host, thus removing the need for a "midi channel" control port?
I think you're confused. The host doesn't put a plugin on a MIDI channel. It delivers MIDI events to the plugin which might be on any channel.
