Allow displaying/drawing automation for the same soft synth in multiple MIDI tracks

Why does Sonar ask us in which track we want to display automation when inserting a soft synth? Not being able to draw/display automation data for the same soft synth in multiple tracks is quite inconvenient for me when using a multi-timbral soft synth like Kontakt.
 
You can see in the following screenshot that the Edit Filter drop-down on Track 10's autiomation lane doesn't list automatable parameters from Kontakt, because I've already chosen Track 8 for displaying them. I think any MIDI track should allow us to draw/display automation for any soft synth loaded in the project.

What I'm asking for is actually possible in another daw I own (see below), but since the program is overall too immature for me and its developer takes nearly 4 years to release a major version, I want Sonar to add this feature and continue improving.
 

 
 
Is this too difficult to implement? Or am I just missing something?
 
Thanks

Tak T.

    I hadn't thought of it that way, but yeah, I would agree.
