Possible to move busses in and among their related tracks?

Is it possible to move a buss and put it among the tracks? For example, I've got multi-tracked drums going to various busses. It's a PITA to have to keep scrolling left and right when working with tracks and their busses that won't fit on the screen. I've seen other DAW videos where the busses are in among the tracks that feed them. Nice. The interaction is key. 
 
Sonar seems to have a wall between tracks and busses. The only workaround I've figured out is to use an Aux Track as a "virtual" buss, route the tracks in question to that Aux Track, and then route THAT to the real buss way over on the right. Am I missing a better way to accomplish this? Thanks.

    You can't move Busses to the track(s) area but you can use aux tracks in a similar fashion and place them in the track area

    Yeah, aux tracks via patch points is the way to go. If you already have mixes set up on busses you can drag the effects up to the new aux tracks and copy/paste automation to go with it. The only disadvantage of aux tracks is that I'm not sure you can bounce them. They only show up as regular tracks on the Bounce to Tracks screen and I think if you include both your source tracks and the aux as bounce sources you might get duplicated/mixed audio. And it forces you to include all those tracks. I haven't actually tried it though, can anyone confirm?
