I replaced a knob with a needle VU Meter in Reason 12 new Combinator

This time I had the idea to replace a Combinator knob PNG strip by a PNG strip made by me in JKnobMan app containing a VU needle. To be able to do this I simply replaced a graphic file in my Reason 12 graphic cache folder that was referencing a certain knob placed on the new Combinator. I only did this for the zoom level 200. Also, had to use loopMidi to animate the knob by mapping it to a certain channel and by sending the gain signal value thru a MIDI Out device to that same channel in loopMidi. Since the release of Reason 12 and after all I have observed and heard (and have not heard) from the community and specially from Mattias Gert, product manager at Reason Studios and head of the new combinator development, I am much less hopeful we will se this kind of possibilities in the near future on any further iterations of the new Combinator without the aid of unpractical trickery like the one I used in this case. If you find this an important subject to see implemented in the new Combinator please share it
