I'm using X1 Producer, and am interested in a shortcut (hotkey) that would take me to:
 
Track View > Edit Filter > Automation > PC-Track EQ
 
That slide-off submenu, which is 3 levels deep, lists 27 ProChannel Track EQ automation functions (some of which may have associated envelopes that I've previously created).  When switching between EQ automation functions (for example, from 'LMF Gain' to 'HMF Gain'), it would save on some mousing around to have a track-context-sensitive "hotkey" that displayed that particular submenu.
 
Is there any way to do that that I'm not finding?
 
 

No, but you can quickly switch to any envelope in a track by Shift+clicking it.

Aha! - Thanks - A good tip.
 
This doesn't work for every scenario (i.e., if multiple envelopes are sitting on top of one another, there's no way to differentiate between them other than going to the submenu), but in some cases it's the time saver I was looking for.

 

You can also access the Edit Filter menu at your mouse position rather than having to move your mouse over to the track parameters. Just press T or click the middle mouse button (wheel) to bring up the Tools HUD.

No problem... glad I could help!

After doing a bunch of edit filter EQ automation, I have a workflow improvement suggestion. 
 
SONAR (X1 Producer Expanded) allows you to hover over an envelope and Shift-Right Click, and the two most recent envelopes (but only two) will be selected, one per right-click, back and forth, like a "toggle" function.  If you want to make another (pre-existing but older) envelope active, but if that one is hidden under one of the two most recently-accessed envelopes, you have to go to the Tools menu and do 5 discrete click/hover operations to get down to the complete list of 27 ProChannel Track EQ automation functions and select the only you're interested in:
 
Tool menu > Edit Filter > Automation > PC-Track EQ > envelope of interest

Wouldn't it be better if SONAR would rotor through ALL the existing envelopes, one per Shift-Right Click operation, instead of limiting the user to only the two most recently accessed?  Thus far in my projects, I typically don't have any more than 4 or 5 automated envelopes per track, and so Shift-Right Clicking through them would be much quicker than doing the 5-step menu walk.
 
Did X2 change this behavior?
 

Yes.

X2 comes equipped with dedicated automation lanes - you'll get one lane for every envelope

Thanks Jonesey - sounds like I must get that upgrade.
