Insert Send Naming Gets Confusing On Larger Projects

On larger projects when you got to inert a send to a track especially if the track as been renamed to something more descriptive like Bass 1, Bass 2 etc its sometimes difficult to tell what track you're inserting the send too. Not sure what everyone else thinks but Id like Cakewalk to update this so sends show up as named tracks.
 
Of course unless I'm missing something?
 

 
Above image not a large project but just an example of the naming.

    yeah! i agree.
    it gets very confusing..

    i think it would be nice to be able to set lables to the different plugins instead of the automatic numbers that come up.(maybe numbers as default and then being able to change them into what ever you like)

    with your own labeling it would get much easier to find the right pugin to send too.
    and this could work with the synths in the synthrack as well.
    you could have ex. two instances of z3ta+ and lable one "bass" and the other "lead" to keep them apart. (the lable should be instead of the number and not replace the whole name of the synth)

    Also add the names of all activated outputs if you have multiple output soundcards and the list can get quite long.

    Would a send manager be appropriate?  One with some sort of cascading dropdown windows like Hardware Outputs, Stereo Busses, Sidechains?

    I have a dislike for those type of popout menu looking windows. At minimum I would like the option to have a separate Sends/Bus Selection Routing screen.
