You're right, it is not possible. Reason is, that [ctlin] uses
positional arguments and the first argument always is the CC number,
while the second is the midi channel.

I see two ways out, if ctlin should change: 

One is keyword arguments or attributes as made popular by flext
externals. Then it could look like this [ctlin @chan=7 @cc=3] and you
could exchange @chan and @cc. 

The other solution would be a wildcard as in using [ctlin * 10] to get
all controllers from midi channel 10. 

For simplicity I'd prefer the second solution actually. It could also
be used for [ctlout]

Ciao
