How do I script outputs for the kontakt sampler?

I'm designing a sample based plugin within Kontakt for a uni project.

So far I've coded basic volume sliders, bypass buttons, and effects knobs. As my sample based instrument are drums, I want to have a drop down menu section for each element of the kit, which has options for routing within kontakt, to then go to whatever DAW it is in, similar to how GGD is setup and able to be routed to multiple tracks.

Ideally, within the drop down menus, I want there to be a "Default" option for each element of the kit, which routes just to the first stereo output within Kontakt (1/2, or whatever it is), so that default is set for all tracks, but then within the dropdown menus, I want the other outputs within kontakt to be available.

Is there a simpler way to make multi channel outputs possible via scripting? I've routed my sample groups to buses, and I'll try to show how I've done that in an attachment here.

This is the first time I've ever written a script or code for something, so forgive me if this is all a bit strange/stupid, or out of the ordinary.

Thanks for the help.
