Expand "MIDI/Lighting" to "MIDI/Automation" and add functionality

The MIDI capabilities are pretty good, but can still use improvement. What I'd like to see:
1) ability to add an automation cue as a service/slide item - This way the event shows in the list, and is fired between slides. This would allow for lighting changes to be triggered during songs. In essence what I have to do now is create a blank slide with a signal and auto-advance after 1 second
2) alternatively/in addition, be able to add automation signals to song slides.
3) set when a signal is triggered on a slide, whether at the beginning or at the end, and with a configurable delay. When rolling a video content item, I want to be able to send a signal to unmute the audio channel on the sound board, roll the video, and then when the slide ends, mute the audio again. Similarly, if we have a service element that only has a title slide, be able to open and close the mute for the person speaking during that element. Can work around a bit now with duplicating slides, but that gets a little unwieldy.
4) When adding an automation cue to the quick pick screen, be able to pick an icon/color for it.

I'm pretty new to lighting, so I didn't follow some of what was mentioned here. But being able to add lighting cues to individual slides would be fantastic (especially within a song). For example, this would allow users to essentially build a light show within each song with verse 1 = "cue 1" and automatically trigger Chorus = "cue 2" etc. As of right now the only capability we have is to add "cue 1" to the entirety of the song item. Unless I'm misunderstanding something or skipping a step within proclaim that is... if so, PLEASE correct me. I would love to automate light shows.0
