Is it possible to reload a session plugin or some functionality of a session plugin when tapping/clicking on a button?
 
Solution
It is possible to load a session plugin using the session plugin preset feature. After you create a session plugin preset, you could make a UI Button in a new scene and add a button trigger to load the preset, as shown in the example image below to load a present titled "new." In this case, the "new" preset has a clock plugin and another editing plugin as examples. This button trigger will load the plugin(s) to the scene plugin area though, not the session plugin area. Whether or not you could then reload or activate some aspect of the plugin would depend on the interface of the particular plugin. I could make more images to step thru the entire process if you would like.

Adding that there's a plugin from Everlaster that exposes triggers for session plugins, may work also.

Hi, thank you for your response — it worked for my particular case. This approach helped me learn a bit more about VAM. I realized that this way it gets added to the "scene plugins" section, which was helpful because my goal was to preserve the values of the "DeeperPlugin" made by Boris47 or reload the plugin when loading a scene, without having to do it manually. Thanks again!

Additionally, this way I can access certain functionalities of the plugin, which helps me a lot.

Hi, thank you for your response. This plugin didn’t help in my particular case, but thank you for sharing it — I’m sure it will be useful for other things. 🙌
